About the Item

At The Edge of The Ocean is a beautiful realist seascape oil painting, measuring 30 x 30 inches (approx 76 x 76cm). The viewer is looking directly out to sea from the standpoint of the waters edge towards a dramatic breaking 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. At The Edge of The Ocean 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.
