Christopher Pelley

christopher pelley"While I am a visual artist in the traditional sense, and work primarily with oil on canvas, I use post-modernist conceits, visual metaphors and enigmatic narratives to explore the inner psyche - that space somewhere between myth and memory, the heroic and the quotidian. I use the vocabulary I am conversant in – that of western art history."

-- Christopher Pelley

Christopher Pelley’s paintings reflect these diverse cultural and geographic experiences with the interplay between the real and the imagined, identity and history, and myth and memory in the work.
