The Falconer's House
The Falconer's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
The still of a moonlit night is broken by a swooping owl, caught in time as it lowers towards the water. The sudden movement captures the attention of a curious fox and cat - interrupting their quiet patrol of the grounds. The Falconer’s house sits tall above the pond, the two windows echoing it’s upright stance. The reflection below is a shimmering mint green - adding a haunting magic to this nocturnal scene where things may not be as they seem.
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.
