Chris Agnew is based in Camden, London
Predominantly working with drawing and a self-developed technique of etching into panels with oil painted details, my practice is focused upon the cultivation of belief systems through legends, mythologies and actual events. The works take the form of intricate and highly-detailed examinations of specific locations where the origin or destiny of particular events are/will be played out.
