Christopher Pearson

Christopher Pearson is a contemporary artist working between printmaking and sculpture.

Currently, Pearson is studying to enter the profession of the conservation of art, with a specialism in prints, books, and other works of art comprised of paper. He completed the International Academic Projects: Chemistry for Conservators qualification between September and December 2024.

Over the years, Pearson has developed his printmaking practice using etching, collagraph, carborundum, viscosity and polymer photogravure processes, as well as book-binding. In a nutshell, Pearson’s conceptual concerns comprise alchemy and transformation, time and rhythm, materiality and its performance, and staging an interplay between different image-making techniques.

Since November 2024, Pearson has worked at L. Cornelissen & Son, the artists' colourmen. Before this, he was a Printer at Thumbprint Editions from May 2022 to November 2024, and printed at East London Printmakers as an artist-member from January 2020 to December 2022.

He is an MA Fine Art graduate from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London (2017-19) and a BA (Hons) Art & Design graduate from the School of Design, University of Leeds (2013-17).
