About Me

---

Born in England 1965.

From as far back as he can remember, Christopher felt that he was always destined to become an artist. His parents recognised that from his earliest days his passion was to make, to create, to draw and to paint.

After studying for a degree in Illustration Christopher found himself in the enviable position of being represented by one of London's top illustration agencies. Here he soon established a reputation for producing the highly detailed realistic paintings he is known for today. His ability to realistically depict subject matter like portraiture, landscape and still life lead him to commissions from the major publishing houses such as Penguin Books, plus blue chip advertising agencies, design companies and theatres and film companies.

Whilst this combination of outlets was varied and interesting, he found that he was spending more and more time pursuing his own personal work. Over the years the balance of his work has swung a full 180 degrees from almost entirely commercial, to now being entirely personal.

Although Christopher often uses photography to capture transient lighting conditions, he has absolutely no desire to produce a faithful reproduction of the photographs themselves. Instead he uses the images as reference points for the creation of a heightened, idealised reality. His aim in painting his still lives is to use composition and colour to provide the subject with the space to be admired for what it truly is, examining the intrinsic beauty in a frozen moment of reality.

Christopher’s work can be seen in public and private collections all over the world. He has received numerous prestigious commissions including a triptych for the Royal Society in London which now hangs as a partner to a Savador Dali work in their head office on the Mall. 

 Christopher Green is represented by Plus One Gallery, London.
