Channeling the spectral visions of legendary artists such as Durer, Kippenberger, and Picasso, Christopher Winter creates hallucinatory landscapes, peopled by strangely sinister looking children. Winter’s work is as peculiarly particular as it is universal, exploring the complicitious nature of art, creativity, madness, and death.
Currently living in Berlin, Winter cofounded the artist group Special X with fellow artists Shiho Yuki and Eva Hauman to highlight the crisis points in the Art World through subversions of Art World practices.
His work has been featured in solo and group shows throughout Europe and New York.
"Winter’s pictures may be as entertaining as a Hollywood movie, but they are also existentially powerful" - Donald Kuspit
