Christopher Stott is a contemporary realist painter.
There is a great preview in American Art Collector magazine for the October 2018 Souvenir group exhibition at the Robert Lange Studios in Charleston, South Carolina.
It’s always an honour when my work appears in slick publications along side so many artists that I admire.
I’m happy to announce that my painting, Brownie Hawkeye, will be part of the Robert Lange Studios October 2018 group exhibition in Charleston, South Carolina.
It’s an exhibition with a take-away. The collector also gets the actual camera.
The opening reception is this Friday, October 5.
I made a smaller version of this painting last year and thought that it deserved another composition and a larger canvas.
After The Sun Sets II is at the George Billis Gallery in New York City.
Happy to share that I have some new paintings at the George Billis Gallery NYC in the Summer Group Show. The show is up from July 10 through August 4.
Everything Old – the shop where a great deal of my subjects come from – came by my studio for a chat about my work. They’ve always been really amazing supporters and take a keen interest in what I do. I have often talked to them about my paintings so it was nice to be able to sit down and talk to them.
An 18 x 36 inch composition of wonderfully aged Pelican Books – see the painting closer here.
These books cover a broad range of subjects – everything from art, architecture, history, philosophy, etc. Something for everyone. And even though these books come from the past, they’re still relevant.
These two are on the way to the George Billis Gallery in New York. Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm by George Orwell.
Check out my painting in the slick catalogue for the exhibition Tick-Tock: Time in Contemporary Art at the Lehman College Art Gallery. The exhibition ran from February 2 – May 5, 2018.
My painting, Three, was included in the exhibition with numerous other works of depicting the concept of time.
“Stott created this quietly beautiful still life of three alarm clocks, all pointing to three o’clock, using a restrained palette of silver, taupe, and aqua that is subtly complimentary, like musical variations on a single theme. The artist revels in the visual satisfaction derived from the delineating variations in groups of similar objects. Here, the shapes of the bells, font of the numbering, and the style of the hands all lead the eye through and around the painting, encouraging the viewer to contemplate the similarities and find the differences in a kind of visual game.”
The George Billis Gallery LA had some of my work showing at the big Art Market San Francisco art fair.
