Chris Blunkell

I've drawn and painted on and off for as long as I can remember, but turned to it in concerted fashion whilst I was writing my doctorate as an antidote to such cerebral endeavour. I'm stimulated by clashes between the figurative and the abstract, but believe that thinking about it too hard misses the point.

Doctorate in political sociology.
