ABOUT CHALLONER

 Challoner Spokes is a British painter living and working in Oxfordshire. Using bold colour, her work is concerned with the line that interrupts hues to define shape and objects. Her paintings are representational though not bound by reality.

 

Challoner’s work is autobiographical and responsive to the feeling of a moment. Colours and perspective are oversaturated to express the emotion of an experience. She’s interested in the visceral qualities and repetitive shapes that appear in the ways that we organise ourselves; our created environments, be they rural or urban, demonstrate an inclination to organise and create patterns which Challoner enjoys working with.

 

As well as an experienced visual artist, Challoner has well over a decade of experience in creative education and training for adult learners. She delivers comprehensive drawing and painting courses and workshops.

 

Challoner’s original paintings and fine art prints are held in private collections in the UK, Netherlands and USA.
