BIO

Christopher Blyth graduated from the Cooper Union in 1993 and has since exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions. Christopher maintains a studio in Harlem, NYC. Describing Christopher’s paintings in a New York Times review, Helen Harrison writes "His involvement is almost entirely with the work of art as an end in itself, a product of the artist's engagement with his materials and the visual and tactile effects they achieve."

These works are an abstracted and layered response to the environment I’m immersed in; reflections of urban or wild places and the passing of time therein. Inspirations vary and morph in the process, sometimes triggered by memory associations via the incorporation of a sketch or prior artwork. The human presence is also inferred, either directly or more generally, being inescapably the lens through which experience is felt and memory formed.
