Christopher Page
b.1984Christopher Page is a painter of light, shadow and reflection. His gestural 'paintings' float within phantom frames but are in fact painted, gesturally, whilst simultaneously being set back within a virtual space that calls their facticity into question. Through his canvases Page refocuses our attention on our everyday visual landscape, where artifice abounds and the legacy of Modernism repeatedly collapses into tromp l'oeil deceptions. Whilst drawing from Baroque illusion, they hover on the edge of abstraction, thinking as they do about our flattened world of screens.
Christopher Page lives and works in Dorset, UK. Recent exhibitions include Full Haus: The Seeld Library, MOCA storefront, Los Angeles, USA; Wonder and Wakefulness: The Nature of Pliny the Elder, Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, New York, USA; Earth Sky Body Ruins (with Clementine Keith-Roach), Ben Hunter, London, UK; Fading Light in the Picture Gallery, Dirimart, Istanbul; Christopher Page: Blind Gallery, Museu de Arte Moderna, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Knots (with Clementine Keith-Roach), P.P.O.W., New York, USA; Preset Tense, Hauser and Wirth, Sommerset, UK; Painting Stone, Villa Lotana, Rome, Italy and Picturesque, Baert Gallery, Los Angeles, USA.
Page is a co-founder and editor of Effects, a journal of art, poetry, and essays.
