Chris Mcloughlin

Chris Mcloughlin capture’s the conscious experience and awareness of a place. Working from observation and inspired by his senses and emotions, Chris Mcloughlin pushes the boundaries of representational painting towards a more phenomenological approach.

This perception of the landscape is translated onto canvas through bold expressive brushwork and an intuitive relationship with colour. The subjects are invariably places that he knows well or visits often and include high mountain top fells and sweeping valley corridors. Over the years his work has taken him to places such as Tyan Shan in Kazakhstan, Italy, the Lake District and the Orkney Islands.
