About the Artist
Born London in 1954. Started work in an Art Studio in Soho but his love of neon and all things bright drew him to work on fairground, circus and amusement neon graphics and design. 30 years later his talent was discovered by the Guy Hepner Gallery in LA and work sold throughout the world.

Using neon and bulbs with fabricated metals, reclaimed wood and salvaged iconic signs of yesteryear Chris has undertaken some impressive commissions for Selfridges, (working with David la Chapelle), Agent Provocateur, Alexander McQueen, Stanley Kubrick, Tim Burton, Vivienne Westwood, Joe Corri, Harrods, Burberry, Mulberry, Da Da Dandy, Stella McCartney and numerous film and TV projects.
