Although British, Manchester based painter Michael Gutteridge has painted all his life, he only began to take it up more seriously in 2001, when, after submitting a painting in the 2000 Open Exhibition at the Muncipal Art Gallery, he was invited by them to present a full exhibition of some 20 paintings the following year. Since then, he has continued to develop and explore his own unique vision which involves trying to capture some of the excitement and other emotions evoked by the architecturally eclectic, peculiarly vibrant city he lives in. As a part of this process he puts any reproduced scene through interesting forms of derangement expressed via colour, brushwork, proportionality, shapes, perspective, innate harmonious relationships, energy, and an eclectic juxtaposition of styles. Basically, everything short of throwing in the kitchen sink! Sometimes, he is specifically trying to convey existentially disorientating feelings through these techniques and other times just a general sensual vibrancy. ;As well as being inspired by the City of Manchester itself, his other influences include LS Lowry, Chaim Soutine, Carel Weight, Edvard Munch, and even Walt Disney. ;He welcomes feedback, and for further information or enquiries, he can be contacted via his web site ar www.michaelgutteridge.com or by email at mg@michaelgutteridge.com ;; ;Exhibitions ;Stockport Metropolitan Borough Art Gallery, Open Exhibition, 2000 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Art Gallery, 2001.
