Christian Hook

Biography

In 2023, Clarendon Fine Art celebrated the 10th anniversary of their relationship
with Christian Hook. Over this intensely rewarding decade, Christian has
become one of the most sought-after artists in the world, impressing art
historians and critics and becoming a huge draw for serious collectors and
investors. A brilliant communicator and charismatic broadcaster, he has also
reached out beyond the art establishment, travelling extensively to find subjects
which capture the zeitgeist and defying the traditional boundaries between
popularity and elitism.
Christian’s art finds its roots in tradition yet breathes with a contemporary
vitality that is both refreshing and nuanced. In an expertly choreographed dance
of colour and light, past and present converge to offer multiple viewpoints on a single subject, and his fractured images intersect to create complex and beautiful studies in
time and motion. Each piece reflects a deep appreciation for classical art but is driven by
his interest in science and philosophy and his ongoing quest for innovation and renewal.
In today’s multimedia landscape, where artistic expression encompasses an unprecedentedly
broad spectrum, Christian has achieved something genuinely rare; an authentic and
personal style which is not simply recognisable – it is unmistakable. He has explored many
different paths in his search for greater self-expression and artistic truth, and this beautiful
and timely book both charts this search and confirms his position as one of the foremost
artistic voices of our time.
