Missing Art Object Number 7 Painting

Born in Birmingham, England 1946. Worked in many jobs until becoming a full-time painter and writer. Chris believes we have evolved to possess two distinctly separate forms of perceptual awareness. One way of sensing is learned when we are young through our intelligence and the other inherent through instinct. He states that our mind has evolved to stop us observing objects and events in the old instinctive way, and his idea is that modern art arose because it was realised the traditional ways of working help intelligence overpower our original ability to sense by instinct. He therefore, creates objects in an attempt to reveal art as a way to rekindle this old instinctive experience rather than suppress it. He has published two books on the subject. The Animal Within, and Creative Thinking. At present, he is writing his third volume entitled Art & Evolution: How our Animal Origins made us Creative.
