Christopher Poyser

Christopher’s work arises from an instinctive and deeply felt response to the landscape. Rather than describing a place, the paintings seek to summon its atmosphere — the pulse of wind, the weight of sky, the shifting light. Each piece is an act of translation, filtering the visible world through emotion and memory.

Working in soft pastel on sanded paper, the artist embraces a tactile, physical process where marks are pressed, dragged, and layered with urgency. The textured surface holds traces of movement, creating a subtle tension between force and fragility. Free from formal academic training, the approach remains intuitive and unrestrained. What emerges is not a depiction of land, but an echo of having stood within it.
