Chris Chapman

Chris Chapman has been a successful illustrator since graduating from Leicester College of Art in 1979, where he studied graphic design. After moving to London during the early years of his career, he now lives and works in Bournemouth, Dorset.

He 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.

Chris Chapman’s paintings have been exhibited widely in a number of galleries including the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Chris uses a variety of media depending on the particular project he is working on. This can be seen looking through his portfolio which shows examples in acrylics, coloured pencils, gouache and graphite pencil.
