Christopher Bonehill is an Australian Artist currently residing in the Bayside suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Chris grew up in southern Queensland and started his creative journey as a child with drawings of a variety of subjects including machinery, people, landscapes and even animals. It was clear that Chris had an eye for the detail in the subjects and enjoyed reproducing on paper what he observed during the course of a day. Chris was introduced to oil painting by his grandmother, an accomplished artist in her own right, who became his mentor for his artistic direction, be it for a short time. The evolution of Chris’s art has been influenced over the past four decades by a variety of artists and art styles, in particular with the diversity of Australian art. He enjoys the creativity and freedom of art, the diversity of abstract, the honesty of the surreal, the openness with pop art and the complexity of portraiture.
