A message from Chris
Having visited Stately Homes when I was younger, I was fascinated by the art collections, particularly the family portraits. At the age of 18, I was determined to learn to paint. I studied the works of seventeenth century painters like Sir Anthony Van Dyck, Sir Peter Lely and Rembrandt, and began to paint and develop my own styles as a derivation from these old masters.
Currently, I am exploring the vast range of styles, and by doing so expanding my own techniques. I hope you get the feeling for this transformation when looking through this web site, and I hope you can see the variety of my work spanning almost thirty years. Since you are here, I also hope that you get as much enjoyment from looking at these paintings as I have had painting them. It has been, and still is, truly a labour of love!

Green Man Gallery Art Exhibition - 'Rural Serenity'
The 'Rural Serenity' Exhibition (see above) took place during February 2019, and featured some of Chris's landscape paintings. The aim of this exhibition was to showcase the diversity of the English countryside. The exhibition was a success, with many favorable and positive comments from visitors to the gallery.
You will see that the majority of these acrylic canvas paintings are available to buy as prints on the 'Buy Canvas Prints' page. Some of these paintings are still for sale. If you would like information on whether a particular painting is for sale, you can find out by filling the form on the 'Contact Us' page.

Chris Pickstock Art - Tontine Square Art Gallery
Tontine Square Art Gallery
2-6 Tontine Square
Hanley, Stoke-On-Trent
The image below shows Chris's recent art exhibition. This time, a wider range of paintings were on display. Included in the gallery was also a selection of oil canvas paintings, with a wide range of portrait paintings too. This was a 'pop-up gallery' and was open for seven weeks in total.
There were 25 paintings on display, from Chris's acrylic landscapes on canvas, to oil portraits.
Having a solo exhibition was extremely rewarding. Communicating with the public and hearing their views and opinions has been a fascinating journey. Chris now looks forward to future exhibitions in the future.
