Description of the Artwork “People on a Hill: Boscastle”
In this captivating creation, Michael Lawrence transforms a tiny portion of a photograph - three standing figures silhouetted on a distant hill - into a striking graphic scene evoking a sense of mystery. The image is no longer a small part of a photograph but a reflection on human presence within a vast natural landscape.

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, 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.
