British artist Christopher Winter (*1968) is a figurative painter, performance and installation artist. His work is influenced primarily by literature, film and politics. He has a particular interest in fairy tales, folk rituals and often questions the nature of our reality. Winter's paintings are mysterious yet also have a narrative element. This is the second monograph to be published on his painting by Kerber Verlag. It is aimed to compliment the preceding one and illuminate his previously unseen installation and performance work. The book is arranged in themed Islands, works are not organised chronologically. The reader is then invited to visit Libertine Island, Deep Forest Island or Reality Island as they sail amongst The Archipelago of the Mind. A map at the front of the book guides our way.
