Chris Charteris has been a prolific maker of jewellery and sculpture since the mid 1980s, exhibiting in New Zealand’s top dealer and public galleries. He has work in public and private collections in NZ and internationally.
Chris creates cutting-edge work bringing together the influence of his Pacific Island heritage and the environment he lives in. “I attempt to express my diverse cultural inheritance in a way that reflects the universality of forms. I regard my work as sacred work and I attempt to create things that have richness, spirit, meaning and purpose”.
Chris is represented in New Zealand by Fhe Galleries (Auckland) and Janne
Land Gallery (Wellington). |
