About this artwork
Deep Blue Ocean is a 30 x 40 inches (approximately 76 x 101cm), realist oil painting on canvas.
Inspired by the colour and endless movement of the ocean, Christopher Witchall’s painting is a bridge between abstract painting and high realism. The elements of abstract painting are all there - colour, texture, movement and contrasting tones. The paint built up in thin transparent layers and layers where the paint is thickly applied. The orientation… is also ambiguous, there is no horizon to anchor the viewer. For all its abstract qualities the feeling is of a space that you could dive into and swim around.

« My work is a combination of two passions - a love of traditional painting techniques and a fascination with the photographic image. »
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.
