Mike Thebridge

b. 1991, Birmingham

Mike Thebridge is a British artist based in London, working primarily in mixed media to explore themes of identity, mindfulness, and altered states of consciousness. A graduate of Winchester School of Art, he began his career in digital art before returning to painting five years ago, with a particular focus on portraiture.

In 2021, Thebridge relocated to Ukraine with his partner to set up a studio, returning to London in early 2024 due to the ongoing conflict. His recent work draws from personal experiences with meditation and mental health, examining the interplay between physical presence, emotional perception, and digital identity.

Blending vivid imagery with contemplative symbolism, his paintings shift between serenity and internal chaos, encouraging viewers to reflect on the nature of thought, connection, and self-awareness. In 2024, he exhibited at The Other Art Fair in London, where his work was met with critical and commercial success.
