Christophe Lennox (UK)

Christophe Lennox’s unique visual vocabulary is characterized by intricate surfaces, radiant palettes, beautiful lines, spirited strokes and emotional evocation. His painterly style is reminiscent of avant-garde turn of the century artists such as Egon Schiele, Édouard Vuillard, Vincent Van Gogh and Henri Matisse. Like his forebears, he transmutes sensations and experiences onto the canvas, synthesizing stylized representations, vibrant colors and intimate themes to create evocative scenes. His paintings oscillate between figuration and abstraction, depicting portraits and landscapes in an earnest and immersive manner.

Christophe Lennox (b. 1986 Dundee, UK) lives and works in Oslo. The artist holds a Bachelors Degree in Fine Art from Concordia University in Montreal in 2012. After having lived in Canada for a decade he returned to the UK and lived in London where he gave up painting and started a bespoke furniture making company. Following the death of his grandfather, also an artist, he inherited a box of old paints and began painting again. Recent solo and group exhibitions include Vanishing Act, ISCA Gallery, Oslo, 2024; The Birdkeeper, Hos Arne, Oslo, 2024; The Apartment, Smedgata 7c, Oslo, 2024; LOL with Friends, Kösk, Oslo, 2024; Sanctuary - Towner International, Towner Gallery, Eastbourne, UK, 2022; Linear Dusts, Barbican Flat, London, 2016.
