"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

'The Air Cast Its Shadow On The Water (Veiled Surface, Iteration 11)', is informed by Abstract Expressionism. Untied to objective subject, I used color, line, texture, and material for aesthetic reasons, similar to the way notes of music are played and arranged, to create visual spaces that are emotive and contemplative—internal, inward-looking spaces. This piece is one of an ongoing series titled Veiled Surface Iterations.
The works in the series 'Veiled Surface (Iterations)' are offshoots from a series called 'Surfaces'. The first step in making my Iterations is to veil (cover) a piece from 'Surfaces' by laying paper on it. I then use charcoal, chalk, or pencil to make a rubbing that lifts an impression (sketch) from the surface in which the bas-relief cuts and textures underneath are transferred to the paper. This is the first glimpse through the veil. I build upon these sketches with oils and other media, examining the limitless ways that mark, material application, and color, affect composition, mood, and meaning within the pieces. The work is cut into to create a recessed shape which is veneered in canvas. The physicality of this shape, combined with the two inch deep edges veneered in canvas, give the piece a sculptural quality. Two pieces that demonstrate how different the Iterations can be are: 'Each Reign Spills Into The Sea (Veiled Surface, Iteration 5)', which conveys an impression of the sea and the motion of waves, and 'Ascending The Thermals (Veiled Surface Iteration 15)', which evokes a sense of hot moving air.
Revisiting similar initial compositions through these iterations is a practice of seeing the familiar anew, of interpreting the shrouded glances beneath the veil into clear expressions that are uniquely independent of other works in the series. While working on this series, I remembered a quote from William Blake's poem "Auguries of Innocence" that speaks to the repetitive aspect of working through these Iterations, of looking intently on the known to find variance: "To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand and eternity in an hour." In this series, I've set myself to seeing through the veil both literally and figuratively. Looking upon the same thing over and again but always seeing something new is to pull back a veil that exists only in one's mind.

Kristopher is a contemporary American artist whose work, which includes paintings, wall art, and sculpture, has been widely exhibited in solo and group exhibitions throughout New England and are included in both private and public collections. In April 2022, Kristopher was invited to join the Silvermine Guild of Artists in New Canaan CT. His work has received numerous awards including: 2022 - Honorable Mention in Light Space Time Gallery's 13th Abstracts Art Exhibition (United States). 2022 - Finalist in Art Show International Gallery's 4th PORTRAIT Art Competition (international). 2021 - 1st Place, Overall. Light Space Time Gallery's 5th Annual Abstracts Art Exhibition (United States). 2021 - 1st Place, Paint & Other Media. Light Space Time Gallery's 5th Annual Abstracts Art Exhibition (United States). 2021 - Honorable Mention, Light Space Time Gallery's 12th Abstracts Art Exhibition (United States).
Kristopher attended the art program at Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY, where he received his BFA with a concentration in sculpture (graduating cum laude and being awarded Departmental Distinction in Art). He then enrolled in the postgraduate sculpture program at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, where he received his MFA. In school, Kristopher developed his interest and skills in wood and metalworking. After graduating, he moved to Atlanta, GA, where he worked as a metal fabricator. Applying this experience, Kristopher moved to his home state of Connecticut to launch a business designing and making artistic furniture. He ran his business until 2009 when he decided to close his furniture shop to focus singularly on his life's purpose—to make art.
Kristopher's artistic focus shifts between several series that include, interactive sculpture, wall sculpture, abstract painting, and allegorical painting, all conceptually connected by themes directly and indirectly related to or inspired by Nature. Through an ongoing series of allegorical paintings, using symbolism and satire, Kristopher explores themes of environmental degradation brought on by human activity. He examines the consequences of our relationship to the natural world where we have placed ourselves above and outside of Nature as apposed to intrinsically connected to it.
In his abstract painting and wall sculpture, he uses color, shape, line, material, and composition, expressively to create evocative, visually immersive works.
Currently, Kristopher is focused on the development of a sculpture series titled, 'Time Will Tell', which will ultimately include twenty-four, interactive, sound-generating, mechanical sculptures. Individually, the sculptures will vary in scale and material but they will all generate the sound of rain. The sculptures in the series 'Time Will Tell' raise questions about technology, utility, purpose, and our relationship to Nature.
