Chris Angell is a self-taught artist working in North Norfolk in the East of England, at the Barrington Farm centre. He has attended this centre since 2001. Never afraid to experiment, Chris is confident in a variety of materials and techniques, though he works predominantly in pastels or acrylic with pens in subdued colours on paper or board. In recent works he has been experimenting with layering bright, water-based Posca pens on top of his paintings, giving his work a new vibrant energy.\u00a0<\/p>
His interests and subject matter are wide ranging and varied, and often comment on popular culture or current events, with a surrealist edge. His work is bold and expressive, and often portrays his favourite themes such as landscapes and famous historical figures. Portraiture is a major source of inspiration for Chris, and he uses live models, printed material and his own imagination to create atmospheric drawings of people.<\/p>
Chris\u2019 work has been exhibited locally in Open Studios events, and in various exhibitions across the county.\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
