Original oil on board, framed in a floating white wood tray frame measuring 20.5 x 25 cm. 

In this unique piece Chris’ expert use of light and shade creates a compelling perspective of Regents Canal, a view which has not been reimagined. A grand, bright house comes into view as we round the corner, shrouded in verdant green. Its perfect reflection is visible in the water below and takes centre stage in this small but mighty work. This is a stretch of the canal snaking West, making its way from Camden Town to Regent’s Park.

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.
