Between 1999 and 2002,
Christian Ward studied at the prestigious Royal Academy of Arts in London. There, he began his series of paintings, which got him a name in the international London art scene.
He depicts vast imaginary and truly psychedelic landscapes, on large horizontal canvases, which he renders from a successive layered construction of grounds openly referring to Sino-Japanese paintings. After a trip to the island of Yakushima, Christian embarked on his cave painting series where he invented and explored fictitious grottos.
The particularity of Christian's paintings originates from his intricate motifs and technique. In parallel to Christian’s recent development of his cave paintings and desert paintings, the artist presents for the first time in a solo show a selection of drawings.
