About The Artwork

A limited edition giclée print of an image originally painted back in 2010. It is hand-signed in pencil, printed onto high quality, Hahnemühle German Etching paper and presented unframed. The size is the same as the original painting of 70cmx50cm but with an additional 3cm blank border area. This painting is a mysterious, nocturnal scene of city life in which several characters are potrayed some in strange postures suggesting an unexplained narrative. The location is a narrow, winding passageway between grand neo-classical buildings bathed in shadow which hints at the otherwordly surrealism of Giorgio de Chirico landscapes yet is actually based on a real location in Manchester, England. The scene is painted with an exaggerated use of colour in a distortive, expressionist style yet then highlighted with fine ink lines which lends the image a slight cartoonish effect which adds to the aura of mysteriousness as though a scene from a comic book story. The title of the painting alludes to the name of the passageway (the building on the left is a library) and that this was the second version I have painted of the scene.

Michael Gutteridge was born in Manchester, Northern England, birthplace of the industrial revolution. I began painting professionally in 2001, when, after submitting a painting in an Open Exhibition at Stockport Art Gallery, I was invited by them to present a full exhibition of 20 paintings the following year. Since then, I've continued to develop and explore my own unique vision which mostly involves trying to capture exciting, vibrant, stimulating or moodful aspects of the urban landscape, especially of my home city of Manchester and its environs. Especially, just lately, at night. I was recently shortlisted as one of the finalists from 12,000 entries for the Aesthetica Creative Arts competition. My images have been used promotionally by the University of Lancaster, the University of Manchester, in pop videos, in magazines, on the covers of books and even made into postcards by the Manchester Tourist Office. They are exhibited regularly in the North of England, and are in private collections around the world.
