Christopher Page (b.1984) explores the boundaries between light, shadow, and reflection, creating paintings that hover between illusion and abstraction. His trompe l’oeil works - painted on canvas or directly onto architectural surfaces - simulate framed paintings, windows, and mirrors, disorienting our perception of depth and reality. Page’s work refocuses our attention on our everyday visual landscape, where artifice abounds and the legacy of Modernism repeatedly collapses into trompe l’oeil deceptions.
