Chris Dolling

I work in oils, acrylic, watercolour and pastel. My subjects include figures, landscapes, seascapes, and street scenes. I have recently taken an interest in illustration. I draw my inspiration from many sources: the countryside, travel, people, and the work of other artists. My interests include landscape and cityscape, the human figure, portraiture, and genre. Each subject and medium has its own interest and challenge. As to my style, I am a figurative painter but am not averse to venturing into whimsy, caricature and abstraction when the feeling takes me. I exhibit regularly with Tadworth Art Group and Surrey Artists’ Open Studios. I have also shown my work at AppArt at Godalming, The Children’s Trust, Denbies Wine Estate, The Rye Café in Ashtead, and have completed a number of commissions.
