Description of the Artwork “SHADOW ON THE CASTLE BRIDGE”
In 'Shadow on the Castle Bridge,' Michael Lawrence masterfully blends the ordinary with the extraordinary. An unremarkable wooden bridge over a serene stream becomes a portal to the past, leading to the ruins of a 900-year-old castle. The artist's own shadow, cast along this bridge, serves as a signature of authenticity and a metaphor for the journey of exploration. Through the lens of Photo-Graphic art, Lawrence not only captures the beauty of Autumn light and its patterns but also narrates a personal story intertwined with history, encapsulating the essence of photo-impressionism in the modern era.

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.
