Chris Kirby Artist

I am a still-life painter, living in North Norfolk.

Admitted to Kingston School of Art & Design in the late 60s, my early Influences include the French post-impressionists, particularly Paul Cezanne - and the St. Ives School, especially artists Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood.

Over the years, I have taken a multi-disciplined approach to my art having practiced: collage using fabrics, constructive sculptural work, enhanced photo-based artwork, as well as traditional painting on canvas and board. I have exhibited internationally including galleries in New York, London and Rome.

In recent years I have concentrated on still-life painting. My subjects may include: crockery, fruits and flowers - wooden fishing boats - shacks and huts - geometric shapes - standing stones - and the human figure.
