GRID PAINTINGS

Chris' experience of laying patios and building walls with his father strongly influenced the making of these works. Constructing physical, interactive grids that can bring added beauty to a setting. The foundation layer of each painting is made up of bands and geometric forms of colour. The final layer presents rigid blocks that are placed in a meticulous and careful way. A talking relationship between pre-used building materials and art supplies is evident - how they touch by placement, and how they are brought together visually through harmony or for that matter disharmony.
