MIXED MEDIA MASSACHUSETTS, USA Christopher Peter blurs the lines between classic silhouettes and dynamic abstract artwork. His paintings have a sense of old world beauty and simplicity to them, while the addition of modern techniques, texture, and bold color transforms them into something no one has seen before. He has successfully put a creative spin on something so timeless, which in turn draws the viewer in for a longer glance and curiosity as to how they were created. His various techniques offer a wide range of perspectives which directly translates into his work. Using classic silhouettes, he strategically underlays them with collage, paint pouring, mixed media, and more. He himself refers to them as "paintings on top of paintings" because that is precisely what they are. His paint pouring techniques are especially transfixing with the way he uses the direction and movement of the pour itself to add facial features to the silhouettes. Paint is meticulously placed to form lines and curves of a typical human face. As a growing artist, he continuously experiments with unconventional materials and lately has even been incorporating gold leafing, creating a striking juxtaposition of metallics and movement.
