Laurence Perera Chandler

Artistic background

In 2011, drawn by the sea I relocated from London to Ramsgate and felt inspired to start painting again after many years. 
Since then, I have exhibited and sold paintings in solo and joint exhibitions in Kent, London and East Sussex.
My mind holds the emotions I feel when viewing a seascape or vast sky. The smell, the noise, the wind, the warmth, the cold, are just as important as the visual. All this is held in my mind until I put paint to canvas. I try to capture the immensity and movement of the sea and sky. The weather, mood, colour and light are ever changing.
Now living in East Sussex, I paint in my studio at home using acrylics, which are applied to the canvas using kitchen roll, sponges or cloth and water spray.
My style is impressionistic and expressive. Some of my work can lean towards the abstract. My intention moving forward is to continue to explore, learn, evolve, create and exhibit.
