Michael Beard works across various disciplines including painting, illustration and ceramic sculpture. Michael’s artwork enables him to articulate his immense passion for travel. Compulsive writings of names of cities, famous towers and graphical signage and symbols that he identifies in each location, are strong themes in his work. The repetitive overlapping and fluidity of his handwriting conveys Michael’s vigorous energy and the speed in which he creates his work.
In 2023 Michael’s work was exhibited in a solo show at Manchester Craft and Design Centre, showing a series of new works in paint and ceramic, inspired by Manchester’s architecture. Michael collaborated with ceramicist Sue Cragg, with her creating a range of functional ceramic pieces which Michael then painted.
