of the Artist

Stockport-based artist Chris Maidens was born in the North East of England and moved to Manchester some time around 1987. He had no formal training in art and originally concentrated on making still life and portraits which he describes as "...acceptable, but certainly not exceptional".

He had always done very intricate "doodles" and thought it would be interesting to do one on a large scale. His art form developed from there; each work just evolved and he began to find it impossible to control the emerging picture. Some took on the appearance of images from nature, such as birds or marine life, whilst others are just so intricate that every viewer will experience a completely different perception of the image.

At this time art was still a hobby, pursued in what little free time he had, either at work or home. "In many ways", Chris says, "the high stress of work is diffused during the creation of the art and absorbed by the art itself resulting in a highly complex and often quite angry image".

Chris would like to be able to devote more time to his art in the future. Currently he only works in ink, but he is planning to venture into different media to discover new ways of expressing himself.
