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. 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. |
