Christopher Page
Resident - Container Artist Residency 01

CHRISTOPHER PAGE (b. 1984 London, England) is an artist currently living and working in Athens, Greece. His paintings explore abstraction and representation by combining hard-edged compositional strategies with illusionistic painting techniques to think through contemporary theories of vision, alongside the flows of bodies and capital.

Page attended Camberwell College of Art, Central St Martin’s, and received his MFA from the Yale School of Art. His work has been exhibited at Hunter/Whitfield, London; Sushi Bar Gallery, New York; Hannah Barry Gallery, London; Amberwood House, London; The Pickle Factory, London; Gerald Moore Gallery, London; and No Format Gallery, London.

About

Following a trip on a container vessel from Israel to New Jersey in 2011, I conceived of the Container Artist Residency. As part of the project, I facilitated, through a long chain of emails, calls, WhatsApp texts, and the funds obtained from a shipping line a residency at sea for seven artists (eight to be exact, as one of the artists was a duo). This website stand alongside the website dedicated to the first edition, and is meant to record and present the process of producing the project, as well as continuing a conversation with the different contributors who took part in the residency. With the goals of realizing further editions in the future, it will also host the records of the anticipated continuation of the project.
