CHRIS KETTLE
Chris Kettle, a master of contemporary still life. His canvases, charged with light and drama, transform everyday objects into vessels of emotion and universal resonance. Kettle's work walks a tightrope between photorealism and expressionism, inviting viewers into a world where flowers and flora become conduits for human experience, imbued with ambiguity, humor, and a touch of the uncanny. This portrait captures the artist amidst his own creation, a testament to his dedication to capturing the human spirit through the seemingly inanimate.
“I’m fascinated by Still Life because of its endless ability to challenge me – finding ways to draw human emotion, drama and an interesting composition from inanimate objects feeds my apparent need to be on a road less travelled!”
— Chris Kettle
