Original Landscape Paintings Inspired by Devon & Cornwall
Hello, I’m Chris Stone, a Plymouth-based artist creating original landscape paintings inspired by Devon and Cornwall. I’m drawn to coastal and urban places that are often overlooked — the quiet corners, familiar viewpoints and everyday scenes that are easily passed by, yet rich with character, atmosphere and memory.
Much of my work explores the relationship between painting and photography. I’m particularly inspired by the visual language of the traditional picture postcard — a small souvenir that captures a feeling or moment in time, often presenting a slightly heightened or romanticised version of reality. My paintings are intended as hand-painted keepsakes, celebrating place, nostalgia and personal connection.
All of my artwork is based on locations I know well, informed by personal memory, on-site sketches and my own photographs. I work across a range of media including watercolour, ink, acrylic and gouache, with a particular love for traditional watercolour painting on paper. I also enjoy experimenting with alternative surfaces such as Yupo and photographic papers, which allow for looser marks and vibrant colour.
Each painting is an original, one-of-a-kind artwork, handmade in the UK. My work makes thoughtful, unique gifts, souvenirs of Devon and Cornwall, or small original artworks for the home.
I hold a First Class BA (Hons) degree in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking from Arts University Plymouth (2024). In the same year, I was awarded the Fresh Talent Prize by Brownston Gallery, Devon, and I will be holding a solo exhibition there in 2025. Alongside my studio practice, I’m also involved in community art projects in my local area.
