About this artwork
The artist claims to have been attracted to painting this building because of its rich red colour and that was the starting point for creating various colour harmonies involving violets and different shades of green in the trees which he intended to generate a pleasant and satisfying aesthetic ray. Although the main preoccupation of this painting is colour, which dominates over form, the actual building really exists, located in the city of Manchester…
and so the painting is also a quasi-representational one. The painting was created in 2011 but has only become available for sale recently. The signature in the bottom left, though slightly cropped off in this photographed image, appears in full on the actual artwork.

« I am more interested in capturing emotion than representation. When I paint my landscapes, I become a sort of nympholeptic camera. »
Michael Gutteridge is a British painter whose works have been extensively exhibited throughout the United Kingdom. His cityscapes combine diverse influences and involve spontaneous forms of distortion expressed via color, proportion, perspective, and an incongruous juxtaposition of styles. Often, Gutteridge endeavors to convey existentially disorientating feelings as well as other types of emotion and general sensual vibrancy. He creates using acrylics and ink on wood.
