The Bell Hanger's House
The Bell Hanger's House
Original oil on board, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 20.5 x 25 cm.
Inspired by multiple buildings in Walthamstow, this house is a survivor. Its aged pink facade still glowing brightly against the silhouetted city, as a distant Church spire breaks the evening sky. Time passes slowly here and we wonder about the stories contained in this small abode on the leafy fringes of an urban landscape.
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.
