About this artwork
Backlit is a 40 x 30” (approx 101 x 76 cm) realist oil painting on canvas.
Inspired by summer visits to the English east coast town of Aldeburgh, Christopher Witchall continues his preoccupation with the movement and colours of the ocean, a movement frozen in time between the ancient past and an endless future.
The artist’s unsentimental approach to his subjects combine two great passions - a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination… with the photographic image. The result of this are paintings that are both painterly and highly realistic.
Backlit is painted on a deep edge stretched canvas, so there is no need for framing and can be hung immediately. It is signed on the back and supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity.

Christopher Witchall is an artist based in the United Kingdom whose paintings have been featured in both solo and group exhibitions nationally. He describes his art as being "how the world appears" without embellishment. Witchall eschews the picturesque of the every day, the overlooked, and mundane, and searches for beauty within the most minute of details. His realistic landscapes, seascapes, as well as urban and suburban landscapes are painted using oils on canvas or synthetic board.
