PRINTING - Chris started printing in 2015 and is a member of Porthmeor Print Workshop. His current focus is on Collagraphs, a method of PRINTING that uses materials to build up the print plate and intaglio, meaning to cut into the plate. Each printed image is an original and not part of a print run. This is because the plate is re-inked and rubbed back (scrimmed ) after each image is printed and it is impossible to re-create the exact previous print. Chris is now working on etchings and small limited edition runs. All Print works can be viewed in the Portfolio tab.
ABOUT - Christopher Smith - Artist. Trained by the renowned Plymouth figurative painter, the late Robert O Lenkiewicz, Chris works from Studio 5, Trereife Business Park, Trereife, Penzance, Cornwall, TR20 8 TB, working principally on figurative drawings and paintings but is currently expanding his repertoire to embrace the influences of the St Ives artists and stunning landscapes of the Penwith Peninsula. These influences are moving Chris's output into abstraction, landscape, and the inclusion of figurative within these genre. All my work can be viewed in the Portfolio tab. Works created prior to my move to St Ives are shown in the collection "Pre St Ives Years".
