The Silent City
The Silent City
Original oil on canvas board, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 28 x 33.5 cm.
The road slides away out of sight as daylight fades and night falls on the city. Under heavy cloud we see a strip of glowing orange low in the sky. Silence pervades as a cat enters the scene to begin its nocturnal adventures. This small, desolate house feels heavy with meaning - quietly absorbing the layered stories and noise of a background city.
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.
