Chris Cyprus

Self taught, obsessive and unique, after eight years as a self-taught painter, Chris Cyprus has moved on from portraying Lancashire’s landscapes and townscapes to painting allotments. In the last decade Chris has emerged as a rising star of the art world due to numerous TV appearances, notably BBC Gardener’s World in summer 2008. Now his original paintings are in high demand and purchased by buyers both at home and abroad who find a magnetic appeal in the secret world of garden sheds and home-grown root vegetables!

A contemporary artist with a national reputation, he is widely recognised for his unique style, and like most prolific artists, he is a compulsive painter and absorbs ideas for his painting wherever he is, including his own allotment. His trademark features of bold colour, ordinary everyday situations and quiet humour strike a chord with keen gardeners and art lovers everywhere.
