Before becoming an artist, Cedric Christie was a welder. Highly skilled and meticulous, he explores the artistic potential of every day materials, transforming seemingly mundane objects in to beautiful works of art. Steel rods, shiny plastics, brick, brush and scaffolding have all been experimented with and pushed to their limits. The end results have been striking works that are imbedded with political, social and cultural meaning.

Cedric’s past projects have included framed doormats, works made out of rope and snooker balls contained within steel metal channels. The theories and works of Robert Raschenberg influence his approach and there is a purity and simplicity to Christie’s works that relates to minimalism.

Cedric has exhibited widely and recent exhibitions have included Kiss your own Arse coz I’m not Sorry Anymore at 10000000mph Gallery, London; I did but Touch the Honey of Romance at Carter Presents, London; Please Shut the Gate at New Art Centre, Roche Court, Wiltshire; POZ at Gallerie Frederic Desimpel, Belgium and Repeat Performance at Anthony Grant, New York.

Cedric Christie was born in 1962 and lives and works in London.
