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 the 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. |
