Krys was born in Sydney, raised in London and taught by Kyffin Williams RA before gaining a degree in Photography.
He spent much of his career in television, joining ITV as a
trainee on Auf Weidersehen, Pet in 1982 and still accepts
work as a freelance cameraman - recently on stage with Spandau
Ballet at the Royal Albert Hall.
Something of a polymath, he has been a writer, musician and
award winning filmmaker.
Nowadays, however, he channels his energies exclusively into his
Art.
Travel has always been a major inspiration, often concentrating
on unusual vistas and architectural detail. So, too, has the sea
and fishing paraphernalia.
His first show, Crate Art, was a series of Irish and Icelandic
seascapes painted in three dimensions and mounted into driftwood
frames. This sort of innovation has been at the centre of his work
which makes extensive use of stencils and masking, etching surfaces
with solvents and texturing with tissue paper and marble
dust.
More recently, he has applied some of the same techniques to the
female form, producing a wide repertoire of collectible figure
work. This may sound like an arbitrary, eclectic mix but they’re
united by what he’s really painted in each: beautiful colours,
alluring textures and evocative light.
