LabelsOnHumans is the searchable tag used by Michael Bradbury, a self-taught digital artist and photographer to promote his work.
After years of balancing art-making with various jobs, he relocated to London, where his focus is on creating digital art. His work blends organic artistic processes with digital production, exploring themes of optimism, beauty, and harmony through a personal digital aesthetic.
Imperfections like pixelation and digital compression are intentionally left visible, akin to brushstrokes in traditional art. These elements celebrate the human and temporal qualities of creation. Influenced by art history, visual culture, and a background in furniture design, their focus shifted from functional creations for The Conran Shop and Harrods to prioritizing emotional and psychological resonance.
“I create digital art not from technical expertise but from a need to repurpose everyday technology for expression,” he explain. “It’s like folk artists using remnants from their surroundings.”
For them, art is as essential as meditation or exercise, a way to visualize their inner life and embrace contentment without chasing external validation.
LabelsOnHumans’ work, available both physically and as blockchain art, is included in private collections across the UK, Italy, and the US. They are also represented by a gallery in Beijing and are working towards broader gallery inclusion.
