    Christopher Sage work explores visual language & coding as a mode of dissecting the various systems that underpin & influence our understanding of the universe we inhabit, from philosophy & science to religion & language. Christopher draws from varied contemporary & historic sources, often exploring contradictory ideas or disparate notions within his compositions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mathematical structures govern the formation of Christopher Sage\u2019s work, as the laws of physicals govern the physical world. Christopher employs Prime number sequences as a framework to define his compositions & proportions. This mathematical underpinning looks at it\u2019s own aesthetic impact. While aesthetic principles of classical Golden section stems from natural forms, Primes stem from within our number system itself. Christopher explains, <\/em>“I\u2019m interested in Primes as a by-product of an ordered, logical system. Their unique, concrete indivisibility, sits at odds with their erratic behaviour, appearing at unpredictable, seemingly random intervals.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Over the past 4 years Christopher has been researching glyphs as pictorial building blocks of communication and understanding, developing his own series of glyphic looped forms.  During his stay at the Gil Residency, he will be researching the language in relation to the 32 characters of the Icelandic alphabet. “While offering new forms of influence, significantly Thorn & Eth, the absence of the letter Z in the Icelandic alphabet since 1973 is also of interest. From my own cultural viewpoint the letter Z holds significance as the Omega, the \u2019final\u2019 letter to it\u2019s set, but it also has a mathematic reference of spatial coordinate of physical depth. It is a form that repeats in my own works, & I am keen to understand this glyphic form from an Icelandic cultural viewpoint.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The exhibition Cat on a cold tin ro<\/em>of <\/em>at Gilf\u00e9lagi\u00f0\/Deiglan will present new paintings on paper, produced during Christopher\u2019s residency, alongside preparatory studies for new woodblock prints for his series of Glyphic drawing influence from the Icelandic alphabet.  These will be presented alongside 21 woodcut prints from the growing Glyphic series<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Christopher Sage was born in 1975 in London; he lives & works in Berlin. Christopher works in the fields of painting, printmaking, sculpture & installation. He studied Fine Art at the University of Reading specializing in sculpture & installation art under artists Bill Colbert & Ron Hasendon, Returning to the University as a Junior Lecturer, & completing his Fine Art Post Graduate in painting under the Professor Stephan Buckley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Christopher has exhibited within selected group shows & solo presentations in the UK, Germany, Austria & America at museums, institutions, galleries and project spaces, including exhibitions at Spike Island (Bristol), Bristol Museum (Bristol), Kunstraum Kreuzberg Bettanien (Berlin), Kunsthalle Exnergasse (Vienna), Affenfaust Galerie (Hamburg), Lage Egal, (Berlin), Busche Kunst (Berlin), Schau Fenster (Berlin), & Fancy Nasty Studios, (Miami).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He has curated & co-curated a number of exhibitions in Bristol, Berlin, Hamburg & Vienna at project spaces & alternative venues, including Presents<\/em>, Avery’s wine vaults (Bristol), Form<\/em> from<\/em> Function<\/em>, REH Kunst & Arcadia Unbound<\/em> at the historic former GDR Funkhaus Berlin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
