Tempest of colour and marks

Christopher Jewitt’s paintings combine voltaic saturations of colour and are both gawky and voluptuous. Pure shock blue spins with deep spectrum red, twisted by Australian grey green, and mahogany brown scumbles across lilac pastel – a sumptuous meal for the eyes. Portraying subject matter in a playful manner between abstract and figurative, his style is reminiscent of childhood notebook doodles and simple scribbles. But in the creative discord harmony is always possible. 

Christopher Jewitt is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Melbourne.
