Description of the Artwork “A THOUSAND KISSES DEEP”
This enchanting piece is a symphony of vibrant hues and dynamic textures, evoking the deep emotional resonance of Leonard Cohen's 'A Thousand Kisses Deep.' The artist, inspired by a moment of serendipity, fused the boundaries between photography and painting to capture the soul-stirring beauty of nature's secluded corners. Through a masterful manipulation of color and form, the artwork transports viewers into a tranquil woodland realm, bordered by the artist's own rustic retreat. The mesmerizing shifts in color, paired with a shimmering quality, invite an immersive experience of introspection and connection with the natural world. Note. ‘Photo-Graphic’ is a term the artist has coined to describe the kinds of image he makes, which start out as photographs taken in one way or another and are subsequently reworked to produce pictures that often look more like abstract paintings than documentary photos.

Michael Lawrence, United Kingdom
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 and 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.
