Christopher Collins is a Seattle-based oil painter working in the dramatic light and rich glazing of the Baroque, reimagined for a modern eye. His work favors depth and decoration — built up slowly, layer by layer, in the manner of the old masters, but shaped by a contemporary sense of mood, humor, and subject.Current ShowNow in progress: Paintings for a Haunted MansionA new body of work exploring shadow, opulence, and the theatrical — portraits and scenes made for spaces that love a little mystery.
The studio is on Capitol Hill, and visits are welcome by appointment. Come see work in progress, talk technique, or discuss a commission in person.
