Christian Dore

Born in Kent, England – Christian Dore spent most of his childhood living abroad. At the age of 13 he returned home to settle in the small village of Shorne in Kent. At 18 years of age, he was accepted into the Kent Institute of Art and Design before continuing his education at the prestigious Bournemouth and Poole College of Art. His career began as a motion graphic artist for the BBC as well as MTV and Nickelodeon. After accepting a designers position in Colorado and moving the the CO foothills, it was there that his artwork truly flourished. Dore’s work explores the impressions of the lush environment around him. He takes the expressive qualities or color and mixes them with a somewhat whimsical narrative to capture his feelings. Dore’s flurry of abstract form are by no means frenetic and each painting manages to convey a serene moment in time, a tranquil calm. The relentless build up of texture is intentional to convey that of sound and movement whilst meshing nature into his own distinctive style.
