The knowledge engine Painting

Chris Giles (IEA Prov) - An artist living and working in Norfolk, Chris Giles produces works in a variety of mediums and styles ranging from Contemporary works and figurative paintings to impressionist landscapes in oils and acrylics. Chris says his recent abstract works have evolved through hours of experimentation and his instinctive habit to explore, develop and improve. Chris believes that while the freedom that comes with being able to create whatever he likes brings excitement and energy to his work, it is important for him to maintain a structure to his creative process. From the original chaotic colors, shapes and structure, chris starts to sharpen and highlight areas within the painting.. and the surreal fantasy journey begins. Chris will work on a painting for several weeks, regularly revisiting it with a different viewpoint and new ideas until he feels it is complete. Very rarely is any of Chris’s work “pre-planned” and from the unknown emerges a truly unique piece of work. Chris regularly exhibits in and around Norwich and North Norfolk but has sold paintings to buyers in America and Japan. His work has been accepted several times in the annual IEA open exhibition and in 2018 Chris was invited to become a provisional member. “These works invite the viewer to enter a world of semi-tamed chaos and write their own story”.
