Christopher Wood PPSSA RSW RGI

Christopher trained at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating with an Honours degree in Drawing & Painting in 1984. He has been a full-time professional artist since his first one-man exhibition in Edinburgh 1987.

Inspired by the artist’s coastal environment near his home in Dunbar, Wood’s palette is infused with the reflection and absorption of light to be found in ever changing elements of Scottish land and seascape.

“My work encompasses landscape, seascape and abstraction, using oils, acrylics, collage and mixed media. My working practice is intuitive and improvisational - an approach which fosters the unexpected. Through the processes of painting, of layering and scraping, of looking and reacting, the work finds its own identity, with a purpose, history and a voice of its own. I endeavour to leave enough room for the viewer to engage with my work through the lens of their own experience."

He is a Past-President of the Society of Scottish Artists, an elected member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and an elected member of the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts.
