Mike Pratt (Sunderland,GB, 1987) is a painter and sculpture. A merry sense of the absurd leaps out of his work, the liberating idea that we can't oppose the world around us but we can take note of its lack of meaning, its ambiguities, and make use of them. Mike Pratt's work was presented at Extraspazio Gallery, Rome (Cumberland Sausage), Satellite Gallery, Newcastle (HUBBA HUBBA, 2009) and at Fourth Floor Gallery, Northumbria University, Newcastle (Paint It Black and Give It a Name Show,2008) and he participated in the group exhibitions: Psychic Geography, Workplace Gallery, Gateshead, 2009; JAMBON, Cobalt Studios, Newcastle, 2009; Some People Deserve Everything They Get, Royal Standard, Liverpool, 2009; Orifice, Foyer Gallery, Northumbria University, Newcastle, 2008; Collaboration, Foyer Gallery, Northumbria University, Newcastle, 2008; A Place to Think, Gallery North, Northumbria University, Newcastle,2007.
