Chris Orr (artist)

Christopher Orr MBE RA (born 8 April 1943) is an English artist and printmaker who has exhibited worldwide and published over 400 limited edition prints in lithography, etching and silkscreen.

He has described his own work as follows: "During my thirty nine years as an artist I have been put in various pigeon-holes, such as 'quintessential English' or a 'latter-day Hogarth'.

The tradition of graphic eccentricity (Heath Robinson, Donald McGill, Steve Bell et al.) is fair enough, I am happy to acknowledge many influences in this area.

"[citation needed] Orr has had many one-man shows internationally, including Britain, France, America, Australia, Japan and China.

He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 Birthday Honours.
