Chris Hagan is a contemporary visual artist based in East Sussex. Chris began his practice in 2020, producing semi abstract figurative and landscape-based works on canvas, paper and mixed media. His works have been exhibited in the UK and are held in private collections worldwide including Germany, France, Spain, the United States, Canada and Asia. Found imagery and the stories and lives of the people, places, landscapes and the historical events of the North of England, Wales and Scotland inform elements of his work alongside a shared long-standing romanticism for the past through period drama, literature and folklore connecting the links
within his own Irish/Northern English heritage.
