Artist Statement ..............Having reached the prime age of 43, I have amassed enough inspiration through my observations of life to produce material for a lifetime. After travelling extensively through Europe and the USA over the years, my paintings are an amalgamation of many experiences.Now living in the village of Flitwick in Bedfordshire, I paint daily with an unbridled vehemence, making sense of the many ideas through my chosen medium.Completely self taught and unshackled by usual constraints, I work with , watercolour on paper, producing free and fluid pieces.I aim to capture the drama and the ordinary of the everyday, through acute observation, sketching, and creative imagination. My work, is merely a conversation with you, the viewer,and choose to agree or disagree, regardless, I will persist..........Chris Larkin July 2008





My work has developed into a very stylized format, that I never intentionally set out to achieve.For me, it was always about vibrancy, colour and freshness,the subject matter almost being immaterial.Though now,I realize what I paint now, is what is most important in my eyes.People.My work is about people and the landscape we inhabit.Not the other way around.People define a landscape.Pure and simple.
