Chris precisely defaces his defaced subject-matter. - Drenched Co.
Comment: "At his show, it struck me that Chris is an iconographer whose subject is iconology -as in he makes art that uses the material, techniques and methods employed by iconographers but he paints (or doesn't) about the problems inherent in identification, description and interpretation. Chris, who is interested in the bigger questions of truth and belief, subverts 'image-writing' by subverting his subjects, his methods and even tries to do that which is rationally impossible - finish a painting that is meant to be unfinished. Chris' struggles with contradictions and his amazing technical prowess makes his work fascinating. I, though, loved 'The mighty grip of fate' best." - FaSa
