Artist Statement:

Michael Sutherland is a Corsham-based artist originally from the north of Scotland. Specialising mainly in oil painting and portraiture, Michael employs a range of techniques which marry the organic with the formality and structure of the traditional. Inspired by the human form and colour, Michael is happy to let his work lead him into new and unplanned territory by embracing mistakes and going with the flow. Michael won the People's Prize at the Pound Arts Open Exhibition, and his work has featured on Sky Arts' Portrait Artist of the Year.
