Contemporary British Landscape Artist
Michael Hemming is a contemporary British landscape artist whose work explores the emotional and atmospheric qualities of land, sea, and sky. Based on the south coast of England, he creates original paintings inspired by the changing coastline, open horizons, and inland landscapes of the UK.
Working at the intersection of abstraction and representation, Michael’s landscape, seascape, and skyscape paintings focus on light, movement, and mood rather than literal depiction. His work invites the viewer to respond intuitively, capturing a sense of place that is felt as much as it is seen.
Artistic Practice
Michael’s contemporary landscape paintings are developed through a layered, expressive process, allowing forms and atmospheres to evolve organically on the surface. Influenced by the rhythms of the natural environment, his work reflects a deep engagement with weather, space, and the subtle transitions between land, sea, and sky.
Each painting is an original artwork, balancing structure with spontaneity, and offering a timeless interpretation of the British landscape. His work appeals to collectors seeking distinctive, atmospheric landscape art with a strong sense of mood and presence.
Landscape, Seascape & Skyscape Paintings
While rooted in the tradition of British landscape painting, Michael’s work is firmly contemporary in approach. His paintings encompass coastal scenes, inland landscapes, and expansive skies, often blurring the boundaries between these elements to create immersive compositions.
Michael Hemming’s original landscape, seascape, and skyscape paintings are held in private collections and are available for exhibition, gallery representation, and sale.

The Journey Ahead
My journey as an artist has taken many creative directions, offering a wide range of opportunities and influences along the way. Over time, my practice has been shaped by continuous experimentation with different techniques and materials, opening new pathways for the development of my work and the exploration of landscape, atmosphere, and abstraction.
I see the life of an artist as an ongoing process rather than a fixed destination. The work continues to evolve, never settling for long, always moving forward in search of new visual language, deeper expression, and a stronger connection to land, sea, and sky.
Alongside my studio practice, I am involved in a range of creative activities, including workshops, commissions & exhibitions
