The Artist

Chris Deighton is an artist who has been producing sculptures and fabulous artwork for over two decades. He has previously had several galleries and the main inspiration he feels prior to painting comes from his imagination, surroundings and enjoyable interests, more broadly. His artwork has been bought from buyers and collectors from around the world and he truly loves what he does. The style and genre that is encompassed within his work is stunning and principally abstract expressionist and pop-art. His artwork has redefined how viewers can see the world and space with the abstract space paintings and enjoyment of Pablo Picasso’s paintings being instrumental within the body of his inspiration. Clearly, every piece in Chris’ collection for sale has its own story and own background that can be imaginatively explored in one’s mind.


The Artwork

This one-off piece of artwork uses acrylic paint to depict a “Cool Cat” and the genre can be understood as a fusion of pop‑art, abstract expressionism, and illustrative design.

It prioritises emotional expression, visual impact, and creative freedom over realism or classical technique. The result is an artwork that feels modern, playful, and full of character; inviting the viewer to engage with it not as a literal representation of a cat, but as a colourful, imaginative interpretation shaped by the artist’s unique style and expressive intent.

Another hallmark of expressive pop‑art is its intense colour palette. The use of bright oranges, yellows, blues, and multicoloured patterns creates a lively visual rhythm that draws the viewer’s attention. Colour is not merely decorative; it becomes a tool for conveying energy, warmth, and playfulness. This method is invoked in a lot of Chris’ artwork and has been for many years as an ultra-expressive form of illustration. The background, filled with stars, hearts, and symbolic marks, contributes to a layered, textured environment that feels spontaneous and imaginative. These decorative elements echo the influence of street art and graffiti, where symbols and quick visual cues are used to build atmosphere and narrative to the extent that you could perhaps almost see this fictitious “Cool Cat” being a household character in a children’s programme due to its illustrative characterisation. The great aspect of this piece is that the interpretation can be whatever the owner wants it to be. Clearly, the one-off masterclass could be a focal point of any room in your property with its vibrant colours and expressionist features.

This beautiful piece can be posted on a wooden canvass or safely rolled-up and off the canvas.
