Chris Gilvan-Cartwright aka The Baron Gilvan is a contemporary British painter. Originally conceived as a conduit for his own creativity, The Baron is the governor of all Chris’s works, the character through which it all must flow. His paintings are realised by applying the paint through automatism, drawing rabid-like and directly wet into wet using whats at hand, charcoal, spray paint, rags, fingers, oils and acrylics.
