About The Artwork

With the world's attention once more focusing on courageous women facing tyrannical regimes I thought I'd re-share my small oil sketch (now in a private collection) of one of my heroes, Sophie Scholl. Sophie was a German student and anti-Nazi political activist, active within White Rose, the non-violent resistance group in Nazi Germany. After being found distributing anti-war leaflets at the University of Munich (LMU) with her brother, Hans, the Nazis convicted her of high treason and executed her at the guillotine. Part of a body of 100 small oil paintings that I made over a 12 month period from January 2020, this portrait of Sophie (one of my favourite pieces from the project, and now in a private collection abroad), painted on an old book cover, also features a version of her last words, "Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go... What does my death matter, if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"

BIOG A Fine Art practitioner with a background in book, magazine, and technical illustration; British artist, Wayne Chisnall, is now as well known for his sculptural work, paintings, drawings and prints. He is a winner of the Royal British Society of Sculptors Bursary Award with a solid history of exhibiting nationally (an example being the Victoria and Albert Museum's 'Baroque To The Future' exhibition, in which he exhibited eight sculptures) and internationally. As well as exhibiting in museums and art galleries his work has feature in films, TV, books and magazines; including BBC 2's 'The Culture Show', Channel 4 News, London Live, Channel 4's 'Four Rooms', Penguin/DK's 'The Artist's Manual', and ‘Out of The Box’ by 8 Books Publishing. His sculptures have appeared in the feature film, 'Scratch', directed by Jakob Rørvik, and in 2013 he was commissioned to produce a series of paintings for the horror film 'Blaze of Gory'. The artist's work is featured regularly in on-line articles and interviews, including two separate features in The Huffington Post/Huffpost. Chisnall also organises and runs art/sculpture workshops for schools, hospitals and businesses, including ones for ING Bank's London headquarters via the Royal British Society of Sculptors and Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. He was the recipient of the Amazing Art Award in the 2017 Dyslexia Awards. The actor, John Malkovich, chose Chisnall's script, 'Doppelganger', as the winning entry in the 2008 Sony VAIO Scriptwriting competition. This script, along with Malkovich's was then turned into the short animated film, 'Snow Angel’. “I’m going to go with the “Doppelganger” script. It’s clever, inventive, and somehow both surprising and inevitable. Very neatly done all in all.” John Malkovich (4th Jan. 2008). As well as working on his own projects the artist accepts commissions. His clients include The Vaults London, Brooke Roberts Innovation Agency, the luxury fashion brand Éthologie by Jasper Garvida, Mary Fox Linton, Andy Martin Architects, Converse, Dawood and Tanner, Domus, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Ctrl.Alt.Shift, various private collectors, and the Ping Pong restaurant chain, for whom he designed the interior artwork and decor of their new restaurant opposite Wembley Stadium.
