Christopher Dunn

A gifted young British artist and an outstanding watercolorist, Christopher Dunn depicts everyday scenes with remarkable delicacy and poetry, portraying animals that cleverly mimic human behavior. Drawing inspiration from the worlds of Beatrix Potter and John Howe, he brings to life an enchanting universe filled with charming, humorous, and richly detailed scenes.

Christopher Dunn's artwork was presented for the first time at Christie's in 2015, with the superb illustration Big Station. This original artwork—his largest to date—sold for €4,940, setting an auction record for the young artist.

To preserve your works on paper, we recommend that you never expose them to direct light, as UV rays can damage the mediums used. Paintings made with pastel or charcoal require special care to avoid rubbing. Works containing watercolor are particularly sensitive to light, unlike gouache and acrylic.
We advise you to display them away from windows, and to use frames made from pH-neutral conservation materials and “Museum” glass with anti-UV and anti-reflective treatment. If you prefer to keep your works unframed, we recommend storing them flat, in drawing cartons, with sheets of pH-neutral permanent paper in between. Keep them away from light and humidity.
