| Alfora - Chris Alford | |
)
|
Born 1946 Kings Lynn. Family origins Wiltshire/Somerset. Changed course midlife by going back to school to study art. Now work as profesional artist. |
| About the Artist | |
Alforas work was inspired by the Turner paintings at the Tate Gallery in London and the Turner influence is marked. As a Fine Art specialism he majored in printmaking later moving on to painting with a pallete based on Delacoix and Rembrandt. Earlier paintings show a clear affinity with John Piper. The most recent work developed out of these influences and has moved more towards abstract expressionism. |
