In this captivating piece, Michael Lawrence invites viewers to explore a vibrant and colourful universe without needing to look skyward. Here, the artist blends his photographic eye with graphic manipulation to present a mesmerising visual journey. Drawing on his background in photography, graphic design and printing, the piece is a testament to his ability to transform simple images into complex, abstract works that embody a space-futuristic theme. This artwork isn't just an image; it's a visual gateway to an interior cosmos brimming with light, colour, and endless possibility.
I initially trained as a graphic designer in a London studio, and from there morphed into a photographer, working for national newspapers, advertising agencies and publishers, photographing politicians, pop stars, fashion models and many other things and people besides. I also spent some time working as an experimental photographic printer and silkscreen printer, and along the way set about exploring ways of fusing various things that I had learnt, taking photographs in a rather unorthodox way, with specially-adapted lenses, which I then further distorted or remodelled, calling the end results of such manipulation ‘Photo-Graphics’. I am constantly experimenting, never knowing at the start of any given day what I will have come up with by the end of it. That makes life quite exciting. I’ll be offering some of my images as limited-edition prints here on Jose Art Gallery. Most of them have never been seen before, anywhere.
