The highly celebrated artist and graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Art is exhibiting in Portugal for the first time
Côrte-Real Gallery in Paderne is hosting the works of Christopher Corr, a graduate of London’s Royal Academy of Art and a highly celebrated artist with a distinctive style, featuring a collection of his recent paintings.
“Walking by the Grand Canal in Venice”
Christopher Corr has travelled around a variety of destinations, creating paintings, posters and prints, which all started from a long stay in India, evident through his many references to Indian culture, its people and traditions, particularly its religious customs, full of colourful tones and vibrant imagery.
His wanderlust has led to commissions from London Transport, the National AIDS Trust, The Body Shop, Habitat, UNICEF, various children’s publishing houses, the Royal Mail and Qantas Airlines, as well as numerous solo exhibitions, earning him a devoted following of fans and collectors.
