The Humble Cheese / Solo exhbition of paintings by Christian Furr

Why not paint cheese? Christian Furr has been painting the humble cheese for over a decade. The cheese has become his metaphor for simplicity, tradition and artisan dedication. The stench of a ripe, rare cheese is not an easy thing to convey through the medium of paint, however Furr manages not only to achieve this, but to highlight the individuality of each particular cheese family. Paradoxically and also entertainingly, the artist has given the same skill and observation to capturing the essence of processed cheeses with their elaborate packaging.
