The Milliner's House
The Milliner's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
When passing this house in Whitechapel, Chris was captivated by the open yellow shutters and the curtains partly drawn - an invitation to consider the stories held inside the walls. Displacing this house from its terraced row, he imagines a cottage industry in full swing. A hive of activity behind the walls and windows. A historic craft, still loved and pursued in this house with butter-yellow shutters. The cat stealing a moment of quiet in the shadows outside.

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.
