About this artwork
Wave Dancers is a 28 x 28" (70 x 70cm) realist oil painting on canvas.
A moment frozen in time, a crashing wave reveals the moving water droplets as little dancers.
Christopher Witchall's painting continues the theme of ocean waves in his recent works. Capturing the light and movement of this timeless and ancient subject.
"Even as a small boy, I have always loved watching the sea crash onto the shore. Its sense of power and energy and also its calming… beauty and continuity with the beginning of time".
These paintings are part photorealism, part abstract and part impressionist in appearance. Wave Dancers is painted in a slightly looser style than previous paintings, particularly in the top half, where the random highlights are applied thickly and with a palette knife, a technique he rarely deploys. Why the palette knife? "Although the technique takes me a little outside of my comfort zone, it's quite exciting to sometimes let the paint do the talking, instead of me trying to control

« 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.
