Christopher Rainham
Christopher Rainham has been working as a professional artist for over 30 years, creating paintings and drawings, exhibiting and selling work.
His daily practice has its foundation in drawing and painting, trying in some way to respond to the natural world around him. He is engaged with the serendipitous interactions with plants and animals on his doorstep. The sorts of incidents that anyone can have, wherever they are. He feels especially lucky to live in the Calder Valley where these interactions are all around him in the woods and trees and green spaces.
He finds inspiration in these places, their archaeology, history or folklore. How animals and plants are embedded in our language and how we make sense of the world around us. He feels that by being aware that we are part of this whole, we can step back from old ideas that the world is here for our use and that we must try and live in symbiosis with everything around us.
Rainham works from a home studio just outside Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire.
