Chris Quinlan

I am a full-time artist since 1999, and have a unique and intriguing art style.  My style can be described as chromoluminarism or divisionism and my subject matter is mainly derived from nature fused with personal experiences and memories.  This style involves a high level of skill and precision as the paint is not mixed it is achieved with each individual stroke which interacts optically.

I loves to paint nature and people’s interaction with landscapes, creating eye-catching and interactive colorful scenes to light up any room.  Each painting has an immediate impact and 3d effect which makes it stand out.

I have honed my technique used by some of my favourite impressionists, Van Gogh, Monet and Sargent.

I want to inspire the viewers of my work to keep or look for the positivism, neutrality and colour in their every day or maybe return to that happy place be it in a dream, a memory or a Sunday drive. I want to continue developing my style, portfolio, skills and talents to make a positive and meaningful contribution to the world of art.

 

“ My paintings are the result of my desire and passion to paint. Painting gives me the privilege of creating my own order to things, to reflect who I am on this colourful journey of self discovery and to be unafraid of what I find “
