The Allotment Painter



I recently discovered the work of Chris Cyprus. Chris is a landscape artist who uses the allotment as inspiration for his paintings.

‘It all started with the humble Garden Shed and old rustic Garages, 'I was fascinated with the textures and colours and to what was inside these time capsules'. This led Chris to the Allotments where he found inspiration and was overwhelmed by the passion and pride that people had for their plots.’ - allotmentart.com

I was excited to find someone else who can see the beauty and potential within the allotment, there’s so much creativity just buried there waiting to be discovered. It’ll be great to speak to Chris about his work and how he uses the allotment to cultivate his creativity.
