Expressing light through colour and the arrangement of form are as important as the representation of the scene. Chris Macauley is not a subject specific painter. Whether he is working on still life, portraiture or landscape, he is always trying to discover what the painting is about; the object matter is not really the subject matter.
Work in private collections throughout the world. Exhibited, London, Cambridge, Leicester, Singapore
