He later attended Canadore College in North Bay, Ontario and graduated with a diploma in Graphic Design. He fell in love with painting after living with a former classmate. At the age of 25, he began tattooing and has spent the better part of the last 25 years honing his craft. He has travelled the world for multiple guest appearances and trade shows. He has indelibly inked over 30,000 people at this point. As a fine artist, Christopher is currently living and working in Hamilton. He has been involved in numerous shows, including Toronto Outdoor Art Fair 2023 and Artist Project 2025. In his spare time, he enjoys being with his family and their two bulldogs, Herbie and Tootie.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eARTIST STATEMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\"I have been in love with painting for a long time. My infatuation with it began in college, where I was exposed to the exceptionally skilled paintings of my roommate. It ignited a fire in my mind and heart, giving way to something that has become the center of my being. This has propelled me through life with a purpose. Spending 25 plus years tattooing has informed my painting with an adherence to structure, composition, and intention. A study of bold color, pleasing forms and striking designs that are powerful and commanding from any distance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eMy work is whimsical; it conveys a joyful sense of humor and a studied interpretation of my surroundings. The use of birds as subject matter began as a vehicle for color in the composition, by using their colors as a basis to build my palette around. My work with them has since evolved to infusing the real with a graphic surrealism. The juxtaposition of the natural world and an abstraction of their environments. I paint things that amuse me and bring me joy, and in the end, I hope that the viewer can share in a brief moment of happiness.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"city-hall-36-x-24","title":"City Hall, 36\" x 24\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eAcrylic on Canvas. 36 x 24 x 1.5 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhimsical work by Canadian artist Christopher Hall conveys a joyful sense of humor and a studied interpretation of his surroundings.
