British Art: Chris Cyprus

Chris Cyprus was born in 1971. He is a self-taught artist from Lancashire. Initially a painter of landscapes especially his beloved local Pennines his art work is now very about producing paintings depicting gardens and allotments.

Chris Cyprus started painting his garden scenes in 2005 with a small series of paintings portraying the humble garden shed. He is now a compulsive painter who absorbs ideas for his painting from his surroundings, including his own allotment.

Chris Cyprus has developed his own individual style. His art work features bold colour and depictions of everyday situations portrayed with a quiet humour. He sees his paintings as encapsulating a quintessential aspect of British garden culture and life amongst home-grown vegetables. Chris has made numerous television appearances, most notably BBC Gardener's World in 2008.

Speaking at the opening of a recent exhibition Chris Cyprus said that his passion for painting allotment scenes began with a fascination with the humble garden shed. 'They are secretive places, what is hidden inside, how old it is, and the aesthetic look has always interested me. There's a kind of nostalgia to sheds that evokes images of granddads with flat caps, pipes and vests.'

In creating his contemporary art Chris Cyprus has taken inspiration from the work of Van Gogh and Cezanne as well as William Roberts, Clarice Cliff and the posters advertising the LNER railway.

Chris Cyprus art work is now in many private art collections. In addition to Red Rag Modern Art Gallery Chris Cyprus has exhibited at other leading Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Chris Cyprus artist studio and like all Red Rag Scottish art and Modern art it can be shipped worldwide.
