Artist returns to Falmouth to showcase latest work

Lizard-based painter and printmaker Chris Billington is returning to Falmouth to showcase his latest work - Falmouth Working Boats.

Timed to coincide with Falmouth Week, Chris will be exhibiting 20 new pieces at The Steele Gallery at The Poly.

Chris created the paintings, which will be on show from Monday, August 9 until Monday, August 16, to mark one of the most important and spectacular sailing events in the racing calendar.

“I started planning and working on this exhibition a year ago,” said Chris.

“I wanted to create work that celebrates the colourful spectacle of the famed Falmouth Working Boats.

“For me it’s great that people will have the chance to see my interpretations at The Poly while at the same time see the boats in action on the water.”

The work was started in Chris’ Falmouth studio and completed in his new studio on the Lizard following his recent move.

He added: “With an emphasis on the geometry of their bright and distinctive sails I feel that my work is an exciting tribute to these magnificent boats and I’m looking forward to unveiling them to the public.”
