The Merchant's House
The Merchant's House
Original oil on board, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 20.5 x 25 cm.
This building sits high atop the water, a golden yellow in the sunshine. The water level constantly rising and falling - it is a changeling of a house which seems to belong to neither land or sea. Light flickering off the water, the cat watches from his vantage point high up in the window.

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.
