Christopher Page

Exterior. (Morning.)

Mar 9 – Apr 15, 2017

Exterior. (Morning.) is a site specific environment that draws from Baroque quadratura – illusionistic ceiling painting that extends church architecture into the virtual heavens. Reimagined in the present, and within the ‘abstract’ geometry of a contemporary art space, Christopher Page’s installation proposes a Day-Glo heaven that radiates a synthetic pink light.

Christopher Page (b. 1984, London) lives and works in Athens. His work combines hard geometry with soft illusion, collapsing traditions in the history of painting in order to think through the contradictions of today’s globalised visuality. He has an MFA in painting from the Yale School of Art and his work has been shown internationally in both solo and group exhibitions – recently at Para Site (Hong Kong), Hunter/Whitfield Gallery (London), Lord Ludd (Philadelphia), The Averard Hotel (London), Instituto Inclusartiz (Rio de Janeiro), Sushi Bar (New York) and Hannah Barry Gallery (London) as well as at art fairs around the world with LAMB Arts. He has recently taken part in high profile residencies such as Instituto Inclusartiz in Brazil and the Container Artist Residency 01 that takes place on container ships.
