Michael Paysden was born near London, UK, in the 50s and began painting, writing and making music early on. His current work, both in paintings and "automatic novels in images", produced as books, places an emphasis on sequences and the automatic stories that emerge from the unconscious. In 2012, he was invited to appear in a performance at London's Tate Modern. At present he is based in northern Italy.
