RELTON MARINE & COLOURBOX
We are Christine Relton and Tom Marine and have been making paintings collaboratively since 1996 as RELTON MARINE. We paint together on the same canvas and have developed a distinctive style of painting unique to us. Our inspiration is colour, colour and more colour, with travel, ceramics, textiles and landscape as constant themes and a belief that there’s no such thing as too much but with a rigorous eye to composition and keeping it all together. Our only intention is for you to feel happy and uplifted when you look at the paintings and see the fun we had making them.
We show regularly with galleries in the UK and with those galleries at art fairs worldwide. International fairs include Hong Kong, Singapore, Seattle, New York, Stockholm, Brussels, Milan, Amsterdam, Utrecht and Toronto.
We also run our gallery COLOURBOX to showcase our own and other artists’ work at UK art fairs. You can meet us at these events and we also open our studio in Yorkshire to the public every summer so you can come and see how we work and where we throw the paint around. Information and links to all events are below.
