Chris Pig is a British artist printmaker known for politically astute prints that combine of expanses of black ink with carefully worked areas of detail.
His work, inspired by the formal aesthetic of Victorian wood-engraving and influenced by Anarchism, is made by engraving and printing from Lino and/or boxwood.
After studying for a BA at Exeter, and an MA in Barcelona with Winchester School of Art, he became principal lecturer in Printmaking at City and Islington College for seven years.
In a review of a show in Atlanta, Catherine Fox wrote "Pig is a master of stagecraft.
The crisp lines, bottomless black planes and complex details in these prints demonstrate his technical command.
