Description of the Artwork “THE SPIRIT OF THE GARDEN GATE”
I took the picture of this crumbly old gate a couple of years ago, since when it has fallen to bits, leaving an overgrown gap in the ancient stone wall it punctuated. No sign of the spirit since it fell, though. Perhaps she's wafted off and found herself another old gate to reside in.

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.
