'Christopher
studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art. After graduating
in 1984 he set up studio in a cottage in the East Lothian countryside and
has been working as a full-time professional artist ever since. He currently
lives and works in the historic coastal town of Dunbar where his
light-filled studio looks directly out across the North Sea.
Christopher’s abstract land and seascapes have at their heart a visual
vocabulary which is deeply rooted in nature. To this he allies an obvious
love of paint, of colour and texture, of rhythm and form, to create
sophisticated, intuitive works that are alternately insistent, lyrical and
searingly emotive. With inspiration that is deeply personal and a dogged
determination to venture into the unknown, Christopher continues his
explorations in paint with exuberant optimism. Christopher was elected
to the RSW in 2006 and is currently Vice-President of the Society of
Scottish Artists. Awards include The Armour Award, The James Torrance
Memorial Award, The Glasgow Art Club Fellowship and The SSWA Special Award
for Painting. His work can be found in many collections both in the UK and
abroad and include the Bank of Scotland, United Distillers and Edinburgh
University. |
