This painting began life as ‘The Gatekeeper's House’, the pink house a guardian of it’s surrounding grounds. As the cat sits quietly in the window, it observes a menagerie of animals appearing unexpectedly - turning this humble spot into a much more wild and fantastic landcape. Now promoted to Zookeeper, the mysterious occupant of this house lives alongside some demanding creatures, inside and out...

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.
