“Life for me is about learning, and experiencing, and I have done well at that. When I was growing up the idea that you made decisions based on the level of power or money you would gain was considered an immoral attitude, and in some way a betrayal of the higher human functions, the true meaning of life.”
“These paintings represent my response to coming home to Lincolnshire in 2008 and realizing that man made things are loud, full of tension, and that cities are a product of a level of self absorption that has been indulged to the point of obsenity.”
Fresh After the Rain by Chris Paris
His life as a professional artist and teacher sit well with his beliefs and also the many collectors who look forward to his new work. There is a soft, wistful and often idyllic nature to his work. The wide open spaces are clearly comforting and familiar. After many years travelling around the country and indeed the world, Chris’s paintings are a homage to our local landscape.
