Panter & Hall are excited to welcome back Mike Bernard for his first solo exhibition with the gallery in three years.

An originator of a particular style of mixed media painting, incorporating oil, watercolour and collage of cut printed papers, Mike’s works are a rich symphony of colour and texture that have found their way into many of the greatest collections in the land.

Within his paintings, Mike develops original ideas of texture and light, combining both into the semi-abstract images of landscapes, seascapes, street scenes, still life and figurative compositions that have made his name. In this new exhibition of works, Mike perfectly captures the brilliant azure coasts of the Italian Riviera, the buzz of central London, and Cornwall’s quintessential ports and harbours, producing a stunning selection of paintings certain to impress his collectors and those new to his individual style.

All works are available to purchase.

Mike Bernard trained at the West Surrey College of Art and Design, Farnham, followed by post graduate studies at the Royal Academy Schools.
