The Designer's House
The Designer's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
This striking home drenched in pattern celebrates the work of Walthamstow-born artist, designer and poet William Morris. Curling and unfolding across the facade, Morris’s distinctive leaves and flowers have become widely recognised and reproduced, perhaps fittingly for a movement concerned with the accessibility of beautiful design.
Here Chris brings us a fresh interpretation - the patterns which stoked a revolution in Interior Design now blaze a trail for exterior design as well.
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.
