Christopher Bucklow Artist Biography

Photographic Artist

Born Manchester, England. Lives and works in London.

Christopher Bucklow is a prominent English artist who works in various mediums and has been exhibiting internationally since 1996, with dozens of solo and group exhibitions to his credit at such prestigious venues as the Photographers’ Gallery in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, amongst others.

Christopher Bucklow is best known for his Guest series of solar pin-hole photographs of luminous silhouettes, for which the technical process is a cross between photography and drawing. Strongly influenced by Carl Jung’s theory of the  Anima and Animus, the idea of the repressed parts of the male and female psyche feature repeatedly throughout his work. One of the most innovative artists working in Europe today, Bucklow’s work can be placed within a continued tradition of British photographers who have since the early 1990’s taken the art of the photograph into ever more novel, interesting, and technically and conceptually challenging territory.

Bucklow’s work is held in numerous important public collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston.
