Chris Horner graduated with a BA Honours in Fine Art in 2012, and a Masters in Fine Arts in 2018 both at the University of Creative Arts. His work has been exhibited broadly around the UK, most notably in May 2017 where his work was selected for the London International arts competition at the HLS Gallery in London, an international arts festival in Venice, Italy in September 2017, and an international art fair in London.
Chris’ practice explores a relationship between artist and surface which inherits themes such as converting, transforming and materializing.
His obsession to capture and produce can be witnessed through his intensified forms, which include the subject matters of sculpture and painting.
The excitement for me is within the material, where I convert and transform the original quality of a surface.
This emerges from a movement known as an (Unknown working process), which unravels new beginnings from what was seen previously, and opens up many inquiries into new ways of thinking and recording data.
I like to install a gap into my working process, as I find the outcome becomes more interesting. This gap creates a constant break up between intention and process.
Making data visual can sometimes be difficult, so to make this possible the forms created act as an illustration of the amount of time and labour.
