The Notary's House
The Notary's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 44 x 54 cm.
This grand house by the water carries an eerie sense of calm and isolation. Inspired by a building in the Cotswolds, we notice a glowing stone facade slowly dulled by weather and time. Through the stately windows we glimpse only darkness within, and yet clusters of topiary hedges hint of inhabitance and attention. With a gently slanted, aged roof Chris shows a building caught between time and space, formality and desolation, care and disrepair.
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.
