Castlefield and Beetham tower is painted beautifully in this nighttime scene. This historic area is where the Bridgewater Canal and the Rochdale Canal meet and was once a hub of industrialism in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It has now become a popular destination for narrowboats and pub-goers. Beetham Tower in the background shows the juxtaposition between old and new in the city centre.

Reminiscent of the paintings of Van Gogh, with its swirling forms and dizzying composition, the artist transforms one of Manchester’s most iconic attractions into something beautifully otherworldly.

Michael Gutteridge is best known as a painter of urban landscapes, usually of Manchester, UK, the city he grew up and lives in.

His paintings possess a sensual vibrancy achieved by distortions of colour, brushwork, proportionality, shapes, perspective, and energy. They pool an eclectic juxtaposition of styles around a general expressionistic form.

His work has been used in a promotional capacity by Marketing Manchester, Lancaster University, and Manchester University, and in literary and music media as book jackets and in a pop-video.

Michael has also been featured in newspapers, magazines, television, BBC online and radio and his paintings are held in private collections all over the world.
