Chris Thompson
The Musician's House
The Musician's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
Close to every 5 years, Chris creates a portrait of his son. Like drawing lines on a wall, Chris marks the passage of time. In this deeply personal painting we see the intersection of an important ritual and a new creative vision. Chris allows human intimacy and narrative to take centre stage - the building and the figure both expressing layers of personality and history.
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.
