Chris Troy’s work is a dialogue between nature, mythology, and design. Growing up in the quiet suburbs of Northampton, he was drawn to the way the ordinary could shift into something more vivid and alive—a theme that remains central to his practice. Whether through detailed studies of animals or explorations of mythical creatures, Troy balances fluidity and structure, creating work that feels both dynamic and precise.
In pieces like "Capricorn" and "Aries," goats, rams, and fish take on new life, blending in forms that embody strength and adaptability. The challenge lies in striking the right balance between these elements, where sharp geometric lines merge with soft, flowing shapes.
Troy’s background in interior design shapes his understanding of space and form, giving his creatures a presence that feels both grounded and on the verge of motion, as if they could step beyond the canvas at any moment. His process is one of discovery, constantly pushing his own boundaries and rethinking his approach. Drawing from mythology, science fiction, and music, he creates work that feels both ancient and futuristic. For Troy, the finished piece is only part of the process—the journey, the exploration, and the unexpected moments along the way are just as essential. Each work unfolds over time, always searching for the perfect balance between movement and stillness.
