The Operator's House
The Operator's House
Original oil on canvas, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 43 x 53 cm.
The red telephone box, transplanted from beside Clapton’s Sutton House, sits beside the Operator’s house - now seemingly far away from London’s urban landscape. So much more than street furniture, it contains the echoes of countless conversations it has witnessed over the years. It’s a silent collaborator. A keeper of secrets and stories. A time machine between the past and the present.
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.
