Christian’s interest for art and cars began at a young age, memories of going to car events such as Silverstone with his Dad in a classic sports car ever since he was little, all the great sights and smells have had a lasting impression which has grown up into a passion. Coupled with his flair for art, this passion has culminated in gaining a Fine art degree at The University of Northampton in 2012.
He works in a mostly representational style, and aims for a realist impression of how he sees it, using colour, contrast and composition to try and capture a moment.
He loves how the car as an object interacts with its surroundings, using aspects of reflection and perspective. He looks at where they are located and how their location relates to them, literally and symbolically, and likes to work from real scenes.
‘’I am interested in the ways light can strike the shapes and angles of a cars exterior, providing interesting patterns and lines of colours and shades, as well as distorting, altering and enhancing the cars original colours and lines. I use photography to capture these moments of light, from which I create my work’’ explains Christian.
A passion of cars is strong, he runs a classic car every day, maintaining and enjoying them all year round, being an active car enthusiast and attending various automotive events throughout the year, exhibiting his work from the car, enjoying, experiencing and being involved in the classic and vintage scenes.
"I like my artwork to be representational of the everyday car enthusiast like myself, and my works include vehicles from dragsters to stock cars, from vintage show cars to the everyday enthusiasts pride and joy" he added.
His works have been exhibited in various locations in the UK, mainly in Cambridgeshire, but also at Silverstone and in London. He has also enjoyed his work being privately exhibited with many enthusiasts in the UK & Ireland as well as internationally in France, Germany and the USA.
