Meet exciting new artist Chris Acheson.
Taking inspiration from Andy Warhol and popular street culture, Chris Acheson's work is vivid and humorous. A chance photograph of mannequins in a shop window inspired Chris' latest works.
The themes of Chris' work are varied but popular street culture, cinema and music are key. As are the album covers and film posters from his youth. Chris feels that his work could easily be recognised as his take on Roxy Music album covers and Hammer Horror film posters.
The detail and narrative possibilities in the work of Millais, Waterhouse and Hughes, together with artists local to Chris such as Vallette and Lowry, have also influenced his style.
The stagnant, staged interior world of the shop dummy is transformed by reflected random exterior image of a bustling street into an abstract and possibly humorous image. I like the way the two worlds collided.
