Christopher's paintings are autobiographical and introspective, drawing upon existence, experience, consciousness and sentience to express largely emotive responses through the use of vaguely identifiable elements, forms and motifs.
Christopher's most recent body of work includes a series of Notes and Letter paintings -
Letters to existence,
experience,
person,
place.
Hirieth,
Heimat.
