About the tutor
Chris studied at Birmingham School of Art & Design in the early 70s where he gained a BA and MA degree in Fine Art. The strong influence of American abstract painting fused with a more romantic English landscape tradition shaped his work during these formative years. Chris has also woven the Eastern European roots of his Father’s Polish background into his complex cocktail of inspiration. He has developed expertise in many media and techniques, he has combined printmaking and painting techniques as well as having a strong understanding of perspective and formal drawing and painting techniques. Creative exploration and technical control would form the basis of workshops and demonstrations together with contextual and art historical connections.
