“It’s a relationship I’m speaking about, a relationship with environment, place, my grandmother and family.”
— CHRISTOPHER BASSI
Christopher Bassi has loved painting since he began, aged seven, taking classes in oil. As an only child, painting and drawing was his language. Later, he began studying art at age 25, graduating from Queensland College of Art in 2017. His paintings capture a particular light and colour, both familiar and indefinable, drawing on his Torres Strait Islander heritage (Meriam, Yupungathi), European art historical traditions, and a unique sense of place.
He recently exhibited in at Campbelltown Arts Centre and at the alongside at Museum of Brisbane. Soon, you’ll find his work at the .
