Christian Furr

Hidden Treasures Exhibition

Christian Furr

Christian Furr won recognition of his enormous talent early in his career. At just 28 he was the youngest artist com-missioned to paint an official portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, personally selected from among dozens of other painters. As is typical of Christian, he approached the project with a unique point of view, showing both the regal and human quali-ties of Her Majesty.

During his early career while Furr was highly sought after for his portrait com-missions, the superbly talented painter simultaneously followed the strong tradition of representation in British mod-ern and contemporary art throughout his oeuvre. Today Christian focuses on keeping oil paint a fresh contemporary medium, and is continually interested in experimentation and exploration of new concepts. Like an earlier generation that included Lucien Freud and David Hock-ney, Christian examines everyday objects and human emotional connections with equal interest, looking to reach the essential nature of his chosen subject, be it a member of the royal family, an enigmatic couple, a flower, a still-life or a measure of cheese.

‘In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.‘
