Chris Chapman

Chris has been a successful illustrator since graduating from Leicester College of Art in 1979, where he studied graphic design. After moving to London during the early years of his career, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset.

He currently produces paintings exclusively for the fine art market with a continually changing selection of ideas. His work is humorous and he enjoys creating the visual joke as much as executing the final painting. Chris uses a variety of media depending on the particular project he is working on. This can be seen by looking through his portfolio which shows examples in acrylics, coloured pencils, gouache and graphite pencil. His paintings have been exhibited widely in numerous galleries including the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
