Overview
An evocative, timeless and emotional series of landscape photographs that simultaneously highlights the uniqueness and representative qualities held by an array of urban, pastoral and coastal British topographies. Michael Shea's photography provides a delicate blend of documentary and art, not only charting the beauty and textures of under-explored geographical terrains, but also chronicling through them a personal journey that investigates identity, history and loss... AUTHOR: Michael Shea was born in Wandsworth and grew up in South London. He received a Master's degree in Fine Art, specialising in Photography, from the Norwich School of Art and Design. His passion for observing, interpreting and documenting his surroundings has taken him the length and breadth of the United Kingdom - from Sussex to Cumbria and from Norfolk to Scotland. Michael's work has been exhibited in group and solo shows across the country - at the Red Box Gallery in Newcastle, the Lighthouse Gallery in Wolverhampton, and, most recently, London's Camera Museum and ECAD Gallery in Peckham. Distracted Focus, for which Michael received an Arts Council grant, represents the culmination of his photographic work to date, and marks Michael's full emergence as one of the most exciting photographers working in Britain today.
