About this artwork
The artist began this painting in 2009 as part of pair of the same scene, and sold the other one, yet only finished this one, (after much changing it around,) in 2020. He mentions how he 'sort of lost my way with it' and so it was stored away and he would take it out from time to time and think how he could develop it and then alter it accordingly only to find it unsatisfactory and so would store it away again. Finally, he managed to get it how he… wanted it in 2020. The painting is of Piccadilly, the busy navel of the city of Manchester where you can run into all sorts of people and this general impression of stimulant diversity is reflected in a hyperbolic and occasionally surreal way in the figures of the crowd, of which there are many. Rather than paint the crowd en masse, as an anonymous or abstracted form, each figure is painted individually in reference to that aspect of diverse individuality. Consequently, there is plenty of specific detail and incident contained in the crowd.
« 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.
