Christian Worthington

Painter, sculptor and draftsman

Christian Worthington is a painter, sculptor and draftsman who has studied the legacies of the Old Masters. He believes that painting can be a serious investigation into beauty, as well as a timeless medium able to withstand cultural and technological trends. Worthington has cautiously absorbed the approaches of many modern and contemporary artists to create a hybrid of ancient and modern techniques in his painting. Though his efforts involve combinations of archeology and innovation, sacred art in the Christian tradition has remained a constant influence. Convinced that the 20th century shattered any direct lineage from earlier artists to himself, he believes the 21st century presents a new opportunity to re-engage the practice of visual exegesis.

Worthington's work ranges from realistic painting to large scale non-representational sculpture. His work has been displayed in major art fairs such as Art Toronto and Miami Art Week. His work has also been shown in and sold to private, corporate, and public collections in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom, and presented alongside the works of Pablo Picasso and Albrecht Dürer.
