In this episode, Michael Pemberton talks about his career as an abstract painter in which he has investigated the relationship between our inner and outer selves, how a certain restlessness and thirst for new experiences has seen him live in different parts of the world, how concern for the environment has continued to inspire his works, and why he has turned to featuring the human form in his paintings including in his latest exhibition entitled The Age of Water.
