“TWO BROTHERS, ONE CANVAS”

CHRIS&STEVE

The powerful and radiant paintings that these extraordinary brothers produce are directly inspired by nature, from the drama of a storm-tossed ocean to the ethereal beauty of a festoon of white blossom.

The passion and intensity of each piece The passion and intensity of each piece reflects both the brothers’ individual artistic aims and their personal journey through life, and has brought them considerable critical acclaim and media attention, including features in national art magazines and TV coverage. Their high profile has led to a number of prestigious corporate commissions and they now have corporate commissions and they now have collectors all over the world.

Taking inspiration from art history, Chris and Steve create contemporary compositions with a classical influence. Whether it be the dramatic light of Turner, the earthy pigments of Rembrandt or the mark-making of Monet, they love to explore the ideology behind these great artists’ approaches and techniques. However, despite their artistic debt to the past, they have despite their artistic debt to the past, they have developed their own methodology and use oil paint that in a manner that is decisively and distinctively their own.

We are proud to present

Chris and Steve Rocks represent a unique phenomenon in the world of fine art. Twin brothers who were born only seven minutes apart, they have created an extraordinary artistic partnership, due to a closeness and understanding that is beyond the imagination of most of us. They have worked together throughout their lives, and each of their striking oils on canvas is a true collaboration both in terms of technique and approach - a united response from both artists. Chris and Steve studied a range of artistic disciplines at school, foundation and university levels, including fine art, ceramics, design, interior design, life drawing, metal sculpture, 3D design, fashion design and photography.

Despite their passion for fine art, it was not until they began to exhibit their work successfully in the North of England that they realised their own potential; they were soon selling to private buyers all over the country and had made such a strong impact that they were featured heavily in the local media including TV appearances. The stunning abstract images that these extraordinary brothers produce are inspired by the overwhelming power of nature. While exploring the effects of light on land, sky and water, they aim to capture a moment in time, a unique and therefore unrepeatable experience. Their intention is to make the viewer aware that in art, as in life, everything is constantly changing. The passion and intensity of each piece reflects both their individual artistic aims and their personal journey through life. Sometimes difficult, often fascinating, but never dull.

We work on every one of our paintings together. We find that our ideas inspire and of course influence one another and we talk over each piece as we work on the composition. Although we have few disagreements, we do learn from one another, and continually push ourselves and therefore inevitably our partnership towards ever increasing artistic challenges.
