About this artwork
On my world cycle tour I always make sure I have several sketchbooks. Sometimes simply to make notes or very quick sketches and at times longer drawings that I finish later. The Cumbrian landscape is some of the best cycling I have ever done dotted with ancient stone circles. The coast is beautiful and the weather changes constantly and so we stopped often just to look at the landscapes and seascapes and for me to document the journey through my…
art in sketchbooks this usually took the form of drawings that would when we set up camp at the end of the day be turned over a couple of hours into finished drawings or form the basis for further drawings done from memory. Astronomy is an important source of inspiration for my art. I have built my own observatory and will spend many hours star gazing. Learning the constellations and the names of stars is fascinating and the mythology and abcient stories also inform these art works.

Chris Hankey is an established British painter whose works have featured in prizes, exhibitions and publications throughout the UK, Ireland, Australia and USA. Starting each work by cycling to explore local landscapes, with a sketch pad packed and inspiration at every turn, he composes luminous landscapes and seascapes that capture the profound connection between consciousness and nature. He harnesses an impasto, expressionistic approach to build textured layers before finishing with glazes to achieve a glowing diffusion of light.
