Chris Chapman

Chris Chapman is an experienced and accomplished artist, enjoying a successful career as an illustrator after graduating from Leicester College of Art, England in 1979, where he studied graphic art and design.

Chris turned his focus from illustrating to fine art in 2009 and his popular gallery series, featuring depictions of famous paintings, sells in selected galleries throughout the UK. These particular works are full of warmth and humour and Chris enjoys the process of creating the jokes as much as executing the final paintings.

After spending the early years of his career in London, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset. When not at work in his studio he can usually be found paddle boarding, windsurfing, mountain biking, or walking his Border Collie on the beach.

Chris Chapman’s paintings have been exhibited widely in a number of galleries including the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
