Christopher Bucklow

[8] He is the author of numerous books and essays including The Sea of Time and Space (Wordsworth Trust, 2004),[9] "This is Personal: Blake and Mental Fight" in Blake & Sons, Lifestyles and Mysticism in Contemporary Art (University College, Cork, 2005), What is in the Dwat: The Universe of Guston's Final Decade (Wordsworth Trust, 2007),[10] and the co-author of Bacon and the Mind: Art, Neuroscience and Psychology (Thames & Hudson, 2019).

[15] In the 1990s he created two bodies of  photographic work, The Beauty of the World (1991) and Guest - also known as Tetrarchs, that were foundational for Britain's contemporary negative-less photography movement[16].

Guests was created using a 30 x 40-inch pinhole camera, built by Bucklow, with thousands of apertures to make unique cibachrome chromogenic prints.

Friends, family, and fellow artists like Matthew Barney and Adam Fuss[19] are featured individually in the work as a collective of figures drawn by the multiple solar images directed through the 25,000 apertures in Bucklow's camera.

[22] To Reach Inside A Vault is a series of large scale improvisational paintings in which a commedia dell'arte technique is used to generate the subjects or plot.
