Details
The closest category I fall into would be expressionist and neo expressionist art. I admire the technique and methodology of Francis Bacon and attemptwork in a state of what Jean Dubuffet called "Delirium" i.e. the rejection of logic in favour of emotion.
For me art is an examination and expression of the self and of the world I inhabit
Chris Hellowell - Art
I visit as many galleries as I can. As part of my MAs I read a lot on the philosophy of art e.g. existentialism, absurdism, Art Brut
I worked as a graphic designer and owned and ran a London agency for 35 years so Fine Art seemed to be a natural step when I retired. I have an MA in Fine Art - Merit, from Hereford College of Art and will be starting an MA in Photography there this coming academic year.
Joint MA show with Derby School of Art at Stryx in Birmingham and MA degree show at Canwood Gallery, Herefordshire. Recently a CCM show at Christchurch in Malvern and a small show at Iapetus Shell Gallery in Malvern.
I display work on the Saatchi Art website
