Chris Thompson
The Muralist's House
The Muralist's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
Launching a new series of works, this very special painting combines Chris's much-admired architectural house paintings with his previous work in portraiture. The house featured is inspired by a Hackney building in East London, and the portrait is inspired by a painting Chris created earlier in his career.
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.
