I studied Art and Design at Bucks College in the sixties. After a career in Sales and Marketing and with my family making their own way in the world I returned to painting in 1985.

Painting has become a fairly fulltime occupation, resulting in exhibitions in local and London galleries.

The core elements in my work are composition, mark making, texture and colour.

Painting takes same to many locations in variable weather conditions that can result in some fairly spontaneous and lively interpretations.

Information is collected through eclectic mark making sometimes gathering found objects from the area I am working in, i.e., papers, feathers, sand, earth, metal These scraps might be added later collaged onto the world adding texture and a ‘sense of place’.

I subsequently eliminate unnecessary details through scraping, over painting and collage.

The painting is resolved when the entire piece ‘hangs together’.

I am interested in a variety of subjects and explore and use a wide variety of mediums.

Clay and fabric art have recently taken on more significance  .

Ceramics are slab built and mostly created  from my sketches, a natural progression  from the paintings……….large clay non functional pieces  inspired by the sea or marshland around Norfolk.

Heavy textured marks and additional clay is applied and the  colour is painted on  in a fairly random way, Clay Slabs are adhered to board and can be hung.

Over the past 10 years Chris has been creating abstract works using colour, instinctive mark making and his strong sense of composition to evoke or capture a moment in time.

Pursuing this practice involves a variety of media, printmaking, painting drawing and digital processes. Although not directly relating to a scene or place much of his work is rooted in the landscape, rural or urban.His attraction to the physical nature of his view inspires dynamic compositions utilising instinctive mark making and abstracted shapes, evoking and capturing an emotive place. Applying a dynamic and energetic intuitive approach, layering and adjusting, using inks, paints, charcoal and other mediums this working process aims to reach a point where a balanced composition emerges.

Having studied printmaking at Wolverhampton University in the early 80’s through an illustration option on a Graphic Design Degree, Chris has since worked as a graphic designer and illustrator. Becoming freelance in 2001 enabled him to spend more time pursuing his interest in fine art, initially through a part time printmaking workshop at Amersham College and more recently in his  garden studio.

Artist and Printmaker

Tim Baynes has studied at Colchester School of Art, the Slade School of Fine Art and Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.

He works in oils, acrylics as well as watercolours capturing the sea and shoreline, landscapes and cities: private collectors in Britain, America, Australia, Italy and France have acquired his work.

Always drawing, Tim fills Moleskine sketchbooks whenever he travels.  He has amassed a collection of over 1300 drawings of 25 cities across the world. These drawings are featured in a weekly in a weekly travel blog ‘ Passport’ on the BBC.com website where 50 million people have access to his work.

As a result of his collaboration with the BBC Tim’s work is featured in Wanderlust magazine and major newspapers in America and the Far East.

At the beginning of 2010 Tim renewed his fascination with printmaking influenced by print maker Christine Lock working at her riverside press beside the Thames at Marlow.  Last year the experience resulted in Journeys an exhibition of mono prints of exciting cities at The Circus Gallery in Marylebone, London.

This year Tim returns to The Circus Gallery with his show Shoreline running from October 20 through to November 20. The exhibition is a celebration of Britain’s coastline, again through a bold and graphic colour palette enabled by mono print.

WRITER ALAN JACKSON COMMENTED ON TIM’S 2009 SHOW

For Tim, that may mean losing himself in such familiar territory as Frinton-on-Sea (he was born in what he calls the nearby ‘badlands’ of Essex), Suffolk’s Aldeburgh, the Gower Peninsula of south Wales and Scotland’s mighty Skye. Or it may mean his discovery of Seattle’s Alki, Sydney’s Bondi and other beaches in, say, Dubai or Thailand while travelling on business (he is a senior executive in the advertising industry) or as a keen-eyed tourist. All his work shows an artist in love both with his craft and with his subject.
