Chris Prout: Recent paintings
26 October – 17 November 2013
We are delighted to be exhibiting the work of Chris Prout, whose energetic paintings are bold and expressive with the underlying rigour of an accomplished draughtsmanship. This is the first time we've shown his work and this exhibition comes hard on the heels of Chris' successful solo show at 78 Derngate in Northampton - the only Rennie Mackintosh house outside of Scotland. You can see the whole range of work in the exhibition on the following pages, from plein air studies to large studio paintings. His award winning paintings are rich in colour, texture and are representational or semi abstract in nature. He enjoys being out of doors, walking the gentle hills of the Midlands or the soaring coastal footpaths of Wales and beyond. These experienced impressions energise his imagination and frequently appear in his work. He regularly exhibits his paintings and his work hangs in many private collections throughout the UK and overseas. In recent years and since he has committed himself to painting full time he has received much praise and with notable success. Chris has a distinctive and original approach to his practice and chooses to present and build his own artwork and frames. Therefore offering the viewer a unique, immersive and personal experience of his work.
The exhibition runs from 26 October to 17 November and the gallery is open six days a week from 10.00 until 5.00 (closed Mondays)
