Christian Furr
British painter Christian Furr made a name for himself in 1995 when, at just 28, he became the youngest ever artist to paint an official portrait of the Queen. The regal quality of Christian’s work translates through everything he paints, from landscapes, to animals, to cheese. Following the acclaimed success of his portrait paintings, more recently Christian has turned to focus on everyday objects, with observations of still lifes and a much talked about series of cheese paintings.
