Michael Sandle studied at Douglas School of Art and Technology, Isle of Man from 1951 to 1954 and the Slade School of Fine Art, London from 1956 to 1959. In his early work he emphasised craftsmanship and the search for symbols, rejecting the formalism increasingly common in sculpture of the period. Throughout the 1960s and 70s he worked on a small range of individual works in which he explored abstract and figurative idiom. 

Following his appointment as professor of sculpture at Pforzheim, Germany in 1973, and at Karlsruhe, Germany in 1980, Sandles work became more monumental, partly in response to a series of significant commemorative commissions. His work voices criticisms of what Sandle describes as the heroic decadence of capitalism, in particular its appetite for global conflict.He has exhibited in numerous group exhibitions in Britain and internationally including the 5th Paris Biennale, 4th and 6th Documenta and Sao Paulo Biennale.
