unoriginal way with paint

Michael Fullerton trained as a painter. His work includes painting, printmaking and sculpture. He works with portraiture, referencing the 18th century portraitist, Thomas Gainsborough, and combining aesthetic with political concerns, his mode described by Roberta Smith of the New York Times, as "a well-trained if so far unoriginal way with paint."
He has painted Lady Cosgrove, seen as a feminist pioneer for being the first female judge in Scotland, in a work titled Lover, which refers to the artist’s love of oil painting, as well as of the “romance” of political action. Another portrait was of Paddy Joe Hill, one of the Birmingham Six, exonerated sixteen years after wrongful conviction for the IRA bombing of pubs in Birmingham.Initially Hill had approached Fullerton to buy Lover for the offices of the organisation he had founded, MOJO UK (the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation). Fullerton felt it was not an appropriate location for the work, and painted a full-length portrait of Hill instead.
