Michael Sangster

Michael Sangster is a painter of traditional subject matter, and he approaches still life, landscape and portrait with the same concern for objective clarity, and desire for richness of tone and colour, that artists of the past have shown before him.

The studio.

Most people are curious about artist’s studios, where the mysterious work of producing paintings takes place. Michael Sangster works from a historic Baptist Church, brick built with tall arched windows that the light pours through. It is a pleasant quiet place, something of a refuge from the busy London world.
