Description of the Artwork “Echoes of Vincent”
In this engaging artwork, Michael Lawrence presents a modern still-life that resonates with the echoes of Van Gogh’s famous boot paintings. The subject is an electrician's boots, captured in a moment of casual placement in the artist's kitchen. Using his unique 'Photo-Graphic' technique, Lawrence turns this mundane scene into a piece that is both visually compelling and emotionally rich. The textures and colors suggest a narrative of everyday life, travel, and timelessness, inviting viewers to find beauty in the ordinary.

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.
