Ann Christopher Biography & Facts
Ann Christopher RA (born 4 December 1947) is a British sculptor known for her large-scale abstract works. Early life and education Ann Christopher was born on 4 December 1947 in Watford, Hertfordshire, and studied at the Harrow School of Art from 1965 to 1966 and the West of England College of Art in Bristol from 1966 to 1969. She lives and works north of Bath. Career Christopher's first solo exhibition was at the Mignon Gallery, Bath in 1969. She continued to have solo exhibitions throughout the 1970s and the 80s. In 1989, she had a retrospective of her work produced between 1969 and 1989 at the Dorset County Museum. At first glance Christopher's elegantly understated sculpture seems to be tied to a series of simple formal decisions and aesthetic concerns about form and surface. However her making process is much more complex and instinctual. Once a basic shape is chosen and a template constructed, often out of material as humble as cardboard, it is built up using resin, giving depth and texture to the form before casting into Christopher's metal of choice and further worked laboriously by hand. Later, precise machine milled linear incisions are made to create a tension with the delicate hand finished surfaces. Works Christopher's commissioned work exist in many locations including the University of Bristol, the City of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, the Chantrey Bequest, the Royal Academy of Arts in London, and World Wide Business Centres Inc., Philadelphia. A 1990 bronze by Christopher is located on Tower Bridge Road in London while her 1993 work Lines from Within is situated in Bristol's Castle Park.
