Pemberton, Christopher


About the artist

Christopher Pemberton was a pupil of William Coldstream, founder of the Euston Road school of artists, at Camberwell School of Art during the late 1940s and later became a teacher himself as well as a much admired painter in the British tradition.

This is what Royal Academician Anthony Eyton wrote about his work: He regards the naked white canvas as a spatial element you can move about in. From a state of flux, gradually, over different days and weather conditions, he finds essential structure. Throughout the situation is kept open and the picture grows in certainty. The patchwork (mosaic) of houses and fields become more dense and intricate, more stubbornly stated till the colours smash against one another in a closely wrought web, giving an overall impression of landscape and sky and its ensuing light.
