Opening Reception for Christopher Gee: Elsewhere

HAWK + HIVE is delighted to announce an exhibition of paintings by British artist Christopher Gee. Gee’s small scale works on paper, explore stillness and isolated scenes. His paintings are informed by historic houses and landmarks, often forgotten or overlooked sites of familiarity and intrigue. His graphic yet naive-looking acrylic paintings, belie the hand of a skilled artist whose references mine the historical cannon of art. They conjure places both real and imagined, taking us on a fragmented journey though forested landscapes, waterways and vernacular architecture as dusk falls or under a moonlit night.
