Christopher Langley
T
he varied surroundings of Wales are a constant source of inspiration for artist Christopher Langley, whether he is painting the seascapes of Pembrokeshire, the mountains and landscapes of Breconshire or the metropolitan architecture of Cardiff. Working across a range of mixed media, the artist’s striking use of colour is a key aspect of his process. Skies glow with blushing pinks and purples against fields of vibrant yellow, while watery seas reflect bold splashes of primary shades from the sails of boats. In other works,
famous city landmarks are colour blocked in shades of orange against royal blue skies. Based in Cardiff, South Wales, Langley has exhibited widely since becoming a professional artist in 2012, with exhibitions in New York, Glasgow, London, and Cardiff. His work currently features in a number of public solo and joint exhibitions throughout South Wales. christopherlangley.net art@christopherlangley.net
