"Hypo" Painting

Based in Scotland, Chris Silver is a neurodiverse contemporary painter and spiritual empath whose practice operates at the intersection of somatic research and energetic frequency mapping. A candidate for the Master of Fine Arts (MFA), Silver’s work is a continuation of a lineage informed by his late mother’s psychiatric background and a pivotal childhood prophecy from the renowned psychic, June, who identified his ability to 'paint the unseen.' ​Silver does not paint portraits; he creates 'Neural Transmissions.' Utilizing a process that integrates Lithomancy (the reading of stones) and intuitive empathy, he translates the hidden nervous system of his subjects into high-intensity mixed media works. His 'Letters to the Living' series has garnered international attention for its raw, expressionistic power and its ability to anchor complex emotional states into physical form. ​Influenced by the tactile physicality of Jenny Saville and the bold color theory of the Scottish Colorists, Silver’s practice is a form of modern alchemy. His work has been exhibited globally, from London to New York and is held in private collections that value the intersection of psychological depth and spiritual resonance. Silver’s work is not merely seen; it is an immersive energetic experience intended to facilitate a 'timeline jump' for the viewer.
