'I am neither of the East nor of the West, no boundaries exist within my breast.' ~ Rumi

Christopher considers painting a medium to subvert notions of time and place. He uses a similar methodology to a music producer who samples seemingly disparate elements – loons, fast amen break, atmospheric soundscapes – and compose into a coherent whole. Likewise, he unifies elements of writing, photography, memories, walks and found objects with keys of colour. He often leaves his work in various locations to present a chance encounter, or to never be discovered... decayed and forgotten in the mists of time.

Christopher elaborates further to say that, ‘One artist who continues to intrigue me is Robert Rauschenberg: I feel his work represents the cusp of a significant creative evolution – from individualistic, existential struggles synonymous with modernism (notable with artists like Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock) to the vapidity of an impersonal and uniform reproduction epitomised by Andy Warhol. I have read criticisms rubbishing contemporary art as "meaningless juxtaposition" and maybe there’s something to that: we live in a fragmented world saturated with consumerist spectacle to the point of content fatigue (Pop Art on steroids). Art without any soul is a lame tribute act for propaganda; I wonder whether today’s digital colonialism has all but destroyed the possibility of a cultural renaissance, or if we are on a cusp which may give rise to an alternative creative development.’
