Chris lives and works at his studio in Steyning, UK, and draws inspiration from the Old Masters when creating his Still Life artworks. We love the way he sheds new light on a traditional form of painting.
He has said, “For the last couple of decades I have focused solely on Still Life painting. The paintings inhabit a mysterious world of their own with objects arranged on canvasses that are charged with light and drama to somehow channel emotion and universal feelings.
