Over this intensely rewarding decade, Christian has<br \/>\nbecome one of the most sought-after artists in the world, impressing art<br \/>\nhistorians and critics and becoming a huge draw for serious collectors and<br \/>\ninvestors. A brilliant communicator and charismatic broadcaster, he has also<br \/>\nreached out beyond the art establishment, travelling extensively to find subjects<br \/>\nwhich capture the zeitgeist and defying the traditional boundaries between<br \/>\npopularity and elitism.<br \/>\nChristian\u2019s art finds its roots in tradition yet breathes with a contemporary<br \/>\nvitality that is both refreshing and nuanced. In an expertly choreographed dance<br \/>\nof 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<br \/>\ntime and motion. Each piece reflects a deep appreciation for classical art but is driven by<br \/>\nhis interest in science and philosophy and his ongoing quest for innovation and renewal.<br \/>\nIn today\u2019s multimedia landscape, where artistic expression encompasses an unprecedentedly<br \/>\nbroad spectrum, Christian has achieved something genuinely rare; an authentic and<br \/>\npersonal style which is not simply recognisable &#8211; it is unmistakable. He has explored many<br \/>\ndifferent paths in his search for greater self-expression and artistic truth, and this beautiful<br \/>\nand timely book both charts this search and confirms his position as one of the foremost<br \/>\nartistic voices of our time.<br \/>\nHelen Swaby, C.E.O.
