Current Exhibition
Cristus Summer Exhibition 2010
Cristus Gallery’s summer show begins with a private view on Saturday 21st August and runs until 18th September. On display will be new works from our established artists: Dee Taylor, Farid Aouni, Paul Bergin (featured above), John Sims, Tracey-Anne Pryke, Ian David Baker and Sarah Stokes.
New artist ‘Bergy’ and the shadowy effects of light
Cristus welcomes Paul Bergin to its summer season. The style is unashamedly impressionistic, with Cezanne cited as Paul’s main influence, but with clear references to Monet and Sisley evident too. The paintings are vibrant and immediate, but the opaqueness of Paul’s style gives the sense of landscapes that are transient, obscured by glare or fading in the evening light. The effect is romantic and evocative, rather than documentary, oweing much to Paul’s love of Turner’s big skies.

Paul Bergin (’Bergy’) will be exhibiting at the gallery throughout the summer.
Cristus at Greenwich!
We are pleased to announce that you can now find Cristus Gallery at Greenwich Market on the first and last Sundays of each month. We have the usual fine collection of new paintings, signed original prints, ceramics and unique art greetings cards that you can find at Sandgate, but now available to our legions of followers in London.

Come along, say ‘hello’ to Deborah, and have a browse. We’ll be featuring special offers, taking commissions for our stable of extremely talented artists, and inviting customers to our Sandgate first night openings.
There’s lots of other stuff happening at the Market and it makes a great day out with the Maritime Museum, Observatory and Cutty Sark just around the corner, and lots of other artists and craftspeople exhibiting too…
One customer was so carried away by the quality of the raku pottery that she tried to make off with a piece before Debs could wrap it…

While this man was apoplectic at the scandalously high value and low prices of the art…

See you in Greenwich, first and last Sundays!
