Presentation
Mike Edwards is an established artist based in Brighton, UK. He is well known for his portraits made of text - such as the commissioned typographic portrait of Lord Attenborough, now on permanent public display at the Attenborough Center for Creative Arts in Brighton - or the portrait of Nadya by Pussy Riot created from the text of a Poem by William Wordsworth.
Mike has exhibited extensively and his work is in collections around the world - including those of Imelda May, Roger Taylor, Sir Bradley Wiggins and the late publisher Felix Dennis. David Bowie signed Aladdin Sane's unique typographic portrait of Mike - who went on to raise phenomenal funds for charity at an auction.
An Outstanding Painter - Mike started out as a professional artisan before developing his own body of work. Among other things, he created a set for rock band Blur and produced commissioned artwork for Bacardi, Budweiser, and Urban Outfitters.
Mike continues to push the boundaries in new paintings currently being made in his studio in central Brighton.
