About the Item

Afterwave By Christopher Witchall is a realist seascape oil painting, measuring 30 x 40 inches (approx 76 x 101cm). The viewer is looking directly out to sea from the standpoint of the waters edge towards a collapsing wave. Inspired by visits to the Suffolk coast town of Southwold, Christopher Witchall continues his preoccupation with the power and beauty of the ocean - capturing a movement frozen in time between the ancient past and an endless future. The artist’s unsentimental approach to his subjects combine two great passions - a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination with the photographic image. The result of this are paintings that are both painterly and highly realistic. Afterwave is painted on a deep edge canvas, so there is no need for framing and is ready to hang. It is signed on the bottom right and supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

He studied Fine Art painting at York School of Art and Preston Polytechnic (Lancaster) in the early 1970s and has continued to paint and exhibit since. His first job after leaving art school was a brief spell as a set builder and scene painter for a repertory theatre company in Lancaster, before moving to London and running an art and graphics supply business. He relocated to Cambridge in 1988 to become manager and curator of The Heffer Gallery, a post held for 15 years. In 2003, he opened The Wall gallery in Ely as owner and Director until 2006. Christopher is now a full-time artist and lives with his wife near Ely, Cambridgeshire.

The Wave, Original painting, Landscape, Contemporary
By Helen Robinson
Located in Deddington, GB
The Wave By Helen Robinson [2020] The Wave is one of a series of contemporary abstracted seascapes exploring the way light interacts with sky, earth and water. This work suggests the way light reflects on the ever-changing tidal channels which make intricate patterns through areas of saltmarsh. The use of bright colour, expressive brushmarks and tonal blending present a calm scene, with the suggestion of a white wave just below the horizon. Additional Information: original Oil on canvas board Image size: H:40 cm x W:40 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:40 cm x W:40 cm x D:1cm Frame Size: H:47 cm x W:47 cm x D:4cm Sold Framed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look Helen Robinson's atmospheric oil paintings represent impressionable moments in her life, mostly inspired by her love of travel and the sea. Following a career in town planning, Helen pursued her interest in art and has now been painting regularly for over 15 years. In 2013, she obtained an Honours degree in Art History when she found she was drawn mostly to artists who painted light. Influences include the 17th century Dutch landscape painters and William Turner, particularly his works. Helen's recent paintings are contemporary sea and cloudscapes which have a strong sense of light, mystery and drama. Memories and photographs of travel and sailing experiences provide the starting point for her work which then evolves in a more abstracted way. She focuses on the way light interacts with sky, earth and water - both vast expanses of sea and intricate salt marshes with their detailed patterns of water...
