Chris Cloete

"Art is my escape to a blank canvas of creative exploration."

SOLO ART is die kunste naam waaronder ek my werke bemark. ek werk met agrylic verf op bord sowel as canvas. my nuutste werke is 3-D met sagte beligting.

I stay in a small artsy town in the Western Cape near Cape Town. This is where I started to develop my own style of art and creativity through my lack of formal art training which allowed me to begin my art journey from a "black canvas".

I began painting 15 years ago, starting out on board then moving to canvas using acrylics. With scrapper, pallet knife and a love for South African landscapes I further developed my own style.

55+1 Shades of Grey is the result of years of evolving my art into its own unique style, one that allows me to be as creative as I wish.

The uniqueness of my art comes from my use of pallet knifes and scrapers allowing me to apply once off textures adding a layer of
authenticity to my works.

I have exhibited my work in Greyton Art Gallery, Greyton Art Walk and most recently I was invited to exhibit in Galeria Gaudi, Madrid.

" Chris art has become a main stay in Greyton, his unique style and personality are inescapable and his striking use of color almost drips off the canvas demanding multiple views, a real treat for the eyes".
