The Mariner's House
The Mariner's House
Original oil on board, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 20.5 x 25 cm.
Details matter, in this painting especially. Based on a building just beside Sutton House in
Clapton, we get a sense that this artwork could be set 50 years in the past, or 200 years into the future. The Belisha Beacon is still marking its crossing point, although the pavements and roads are gone. It’s now only boats that pass by, and waiting patiently in one of these boats is the cat, lost somewhere in time.
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.
