Chris Edwick
Chris enjoyed a very successful career as a fashion photographer in the 1980’s but
during the late nineties painting took the place of photography and now he is building
a strong reputation for highly energetic and innovative works.
In his own words - "Painting is an act of pure childish pleasure. Colour is gorgeous, shocking and
sensual. Paintings are improvised moments of wet colour melting into wet colour,
unrehearsed and without care, control or inhibition, allowing intuition and the
spontaneous joy of painting to take over.
Each painting should strut with a brutal and chaotic energy and joie de vivre like
visual rock ‘n’ roll, insolent and raucous. The late work of Patrick Heron and Gillian Ayres are sources of inspiration, exploring the idea of pure visual and sensual pleasure as something urgent and profound."
