Chris Acheson Biography
Chris Acheson currently lives and works in Manchester, after graduating in Fine Art from the city’s Metropolitan University in 2000.
Inspired by everyday life, Acheson’s compositions range from the mundane local café to the gaudy splendour of Piccadilly Circus, creating possible narratives for the various characters inhabiting these spaces. Heavily influenced by cinema, his paintings have the loaded meaning of a Kitchen Sink film still.
Chris Acheson has shown consistently since graduating, with solo exhibitions in London, and group exhibitions in London and Manchester.
