The Jeweller's House
The Jeweller's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
Part of a new series of works which combine Chris's architectural house paintings with his flair for portraiture, this house is inspired by a building in Amsterdam. For this collection of works Chris draws on inspiration from the history of art, in this case Vermeer. The extraordinary and beautifully painted portrait is rendered as if it is a mural on the building's dark facade.
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.
