The Archaeologist's House limited edition print

The curious cat sits knowingly atop an undiscovered underground world. An old fingerpost acts as a silent marker of the treasure below. Not far from the surface lies a hidden house, impossibly complete but for a patina being slowly stained. Chris leans into the surreal and uncanny. We observe beautifully painted and preserved artefacts from different historical periods alongside rabbit burrows and the remnants of long forgotten predator. This home was once above ground, but re-worked and eventually buried by Chris’s paintbrush.
The Artist
The Artist
Looking closely at light and shadow, Chris blends painterly realism with intriguing narrative. He pays attention to the everyday, the half-noticed and the overlooked. From an isolated building next to a canal to an unremarkable row of houses - Chris collects imagery which has sparked his imagination and transforms it. By placing these single houses into unexpected rural spaces he changes the context and thus creates a new narrative - steeped in otherness, nostalgic beauty and a hint of the surreal. A black and white cat traces his every step.
