About this artwork
This drawing depicts a fisherman that works the tidal Teign estuary in Devon. The drawing is a mixed media piece that incorporates the warm brown of the traditional rapping paper, metallic soft grey of the graphite/pencil with subtle colour from the coloured pencil and white chalk. The composition is very off centre to draw the attention of the viewer outside of picture and imagine what the old man is seeing.

« I am always trying to discover what the painting is about, the object matter is not the subject matter. »
Chris Macauley believes that a painting should work on a purely visual and descriptive level. The UK-based artist’s painterly and abstract works portray landscapes, as well as the figurative. When creating, Macauley tries to balance control with accidents. He isn’t interested in the realistic copying of his subject matter. Instead, and through color, his compositions radiate an ‘inner glow’.
