Christopher Townsend

Since graduating from Liverpool University in 1996 with a first class combined honours degree in Fine Art and psychology, I have been practicing my art in a studio just outside Burford, Oxfordshire.

My work at the moment is concerned with challenging sculptural space, through the creation of work which is wall, ceiling or floor based. Throughout my work, there is a base awareness and interest in line, form and balance.

I am excited by the thought of creating a unique visual language with my work, an individual way in which one is describing and interpreting a journey through life and responses to stimuli, feelings and emotions.

The environment and location around my studio bares influence on my work with agricultural links to the land and landscape of the earth!

There is also a strong influence of the sea and things watery in my work, born from visits to Devon and Cornwall and perhaps a desire to live by the sea.

In my sculpture, I mainly work with mild steel, stainless steel, found metal objects, stone and wood.

I usually work to commission but also exhibit in galleries and one-off shows throughout the country. My work is now in private collections around the world.
