Christopher Jenkins

I work in Painting, Sculpture, installation and public artworks My intention is to invite the viewer to explore a personal vein of narrative and trigger an emotional interaction or imagined memory through these works, as well as present my own preoccupation with human activity and the relentless moving of time. Desolate shells of buildings and abandoned rigs feature in my sculpture, which are then brought to life in my paintings through impossibly colourful towers and Imagined landscapes. I am interested in what came before and is now absent, the emptiness after activity and above all the celebration of the loss of these moments as the people and places involved constantly change. We imagine a reason for them to exist and in turn we hope to be imagined one day.
