Painting #143 by ChristophL | Painting Acrylic

Despite the radical nature of his art, he likes to say he never repeats himself "every time is just a try," Christophl says. A photographer by trade, it is through related screen-printing technology that he, for the first time, flirted with inks and pigments. In the early 2000s, he selftaught himself monotype and adapted it for his purposes, finding a writing technique, but he remained, like so many others before him, desperately unsatisfied. So he tried a variety of media: paper, wood and finally painting while multiplying techniques: acrylic paint, ink or wax on wood or cardboard. Christophe devotes his pictorial art to landscapes. An almost abstract painting, tormented and full of matter, where one or more trees appear, marking the end of his meticulous work in homage to the vegetable kingdom.
