About The Artist

Michael J Chappell is an award-winning artist with prizes for marine painting, 3D work and theoretical art studies. Since graduating from the UCE and moving to Dorset in 1997 he has become a sought after painter of dramatic seascapes and landscapes which capture the very essence of the forces of nature. In addition he has gained a reputation as a controversial prize winning “sculptor”; his work containing every kind of detritus found on local beaches!

Working mainly “plein air” Michael can be seen out working in all weathers often with his canvas tied and weighted down to protect it from the winter gales which he loves. Of his paintings Michael says:

“Purely representational landscapes can help recall memories, but I want my images to go beyond that to enable the viewer to feel rather than see – to experience rather than know – to stir the emotions rather than the intellect.”
