CHRISTOPHER PARIS |
 |
Chris began drawing and painting alongside his elder sister. Later he developed an interest in art andartists, and would buy and study books about painters through history. He was very inspired by Bruegel,Rembrandt, Renoir, Dali, and Giorgio de Cirico.
At 14 he moved to an area where there were many local artists, and was inspired by watching them work. After leaving school he attended a two-year Art and Design course in Mansfield, and greatly developed his understanding of drawing under Trevor Ellis and Dennis Tapsal. He became fascinated by the use of paint as an abstract medium and took to an expressionistic approach to his work, 'dancing' rather than painting the colour onto large surfaces.
He left Mansfield to study fine Art in Liverpool where he gained his BA (Hons) in 1986. Influences during this period were Frankenthaler, Miro, and Graham Sutherland. In Liverpool Chris explored the philosophy of Art, as well as installation, and a multi-media approach using 2d paintings with 3d objects, film, lighting, inflatables, etching, ceramics, and resin constructions.
Over the last ten years he has been a student of Vipassana meditation, and influenced by the 'as it is' approach of vipassana has developed a more direct observational style of painting.
Chris wants his work to remain above all honest. He does not want to become seduced by the paint or by the idea of landscape painting. He feels that his journey of exploration has left him more committed to this simple and direct approach. By not using imagination, but just direct perception, his aim is to create a 'space' for the viewer to enter. |
