Christopher Green (aka CJ Green) is in his own words, a ‘hyper realist’ artist currently living in Nottinghamshire, England. From browsing his portfolio, you will see he often paints quirky subjects with eye-catching bright coloured backgrounds.
Christopher specialises in hyper realistic still life (skulls & other objects!) and highly detailed portraits, very often animals, pushing you the viewer to see reality through a different lens, and his originals tend to be large-scale to facilitate this.
Painting with more tradition oil paints, he likes to experiment with light (& light reflection) on the objects within his art & this is the constant element within his painting & limited edition prints.
Chris will often choose subjects based on an interesting element to work with: small objects (egg cups), a texture (flamingo feathers) reflective surfaces (sunglasses), or simply a quirky, funny element; he will then try and make that the key element of the painting, in order to reveal a surprising beauty within the subject.
Christopher has already had a triumphant CV, working as an illustrator for brands including Saatchi & Saatchi and Penguin Books. As an artist he has collaborated with Fortnum & Mason, Walt Disney and Harrods and has had a sell-out appearance and the Affordable Art Fair - New York.
