Christopher Witchall
Southwold Beach, Original painting, Landscape, Seascape, Beach

2023

About the Item

Southwold Beach is a small realist oil painting on gesso panel, 8 x 8inches (approx 20 x 20cm). Inspired by visits to the Suffolk coast town of Southwold, Christopher Witchall continues his preoccupation with the movement and colours of the ocean, 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. Southwold Beach is painted on a deep edge cradled panel, so there is no need for framing and can be hung immediately. It is signed on the back and supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Oil Paint on Panel Sold unframed Image size: Height: 20cm (7.87 in) Width: 20cm (7.87 in) ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Christopher Witchall was born in 1954 in Bishop’s Stortford. 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.

Lost Between The Details, black and grey oil painting of city skyline
Located in San Diego, CA
"Lost Between The Details" depicts a open skies and city lights. This scene is of no particular place, but rather Carpenter's interpretation and compilation of various places he has visited. As a painter, I examine how the depiction of light contributes to our experience of paintings. The portrayal of light helps a painting to convey the atmosphere and mood of a scene, and is much of what enables a painting to convey depth and realism. Our perception of lighting features occurs largely through pathways in the brain that carry only black and white information, pathways which are distinct from areas that encode the colors and details we use to delineate specific objects. By painting in grayscale, I try to interact specifically with this region of our visual system, with the hope of conveying some of the spaciousness and emotional significance that light can imbue on scenes. Light, whether as the crisp contrast of a back-lit forest or the gray haze of an industrial landscape, is what defines a scene. Its power to communicate the feel of a place is the principle subject of my paintings. The Blue Azul Collection...
