Christopher Kendall is a multi-disciplined artist originally from Oxford and a fine art graduate from Arts University Plymouth, now living in Exeter. His practice extends beyond painting in oils into sculpture, transfer printing, and photography. 

His earlier work during his degree commented on socio-political issues and global environmental concerns. His keen sculptural depictions of natural forms reflect his passion for the interconnected relationships with the natural world. After his degree, his practice matured, adopting a more classical approach, focusing on a slower and more refined process in oil painting. This technique allows for subtle transitions and variations in colour, as well as a smooth, flat surface finish. 

Christopher draws inspiration from artists like Cezanne, Manet, Hopper, and Rothko. His more recent work focuses on his love and admiration for animals, inviting viewers to imagine the character of the animal, often lending human attributes to his subjects

Christopher Kendall is a multi-disciplined artist based in Exeter, originally from Wheatley, Oxford. With 35 years of experience as a professional chef in high-level establishments across the UK and Switzerland, he decided ten years ago to channel his creative flair into producing more enduring art than just food.

After exhibiting his paintings in Oxford and London, Christopher moved to Plymouth in 2015 to study fine art at the Arts University Plymouth. In addition to painting, it was during his university years that he discovered a passion for sculpture, exploring materials such as paper and card, wood, ceramics, metals, and up-cycled resources. He also honed his skills in various printmaking techniques, following in the footsteps of his grandfather, who was a printmaker.

Christopher had the unique opportunity to represent the university at Tate Modern, where he created a kinetic glass marble sculpture made of paper. During his studies, he completed an internship at KARST gallery in Plymouth, where he acquired skills as an art technician. This experience led him to work as a technician support for the 2017 exhibition "We the People Are the Work," and he later served as an artist's assistant to Wolfgang Winter and Berthold Hörbelt in Cambridge, applying detailed metalworking to the final finishing stage of the Fata Morgana tea house.

Now focusing on oil painting and sculpture, Kendall's work reflects his deep engagement with the natural world and the relationships within it, particularly through his depictions of animals.
