Christopher Sahyoun

Christopher Sahyoun's (b 1977, Melbourne) abstract works are sensitive in their build-up of patterned compositions with arcs and coloured swatches of ink mark-making over the bold acrylic background. The transparent washes, line and loose gestural brush marks create depth and space in the work, and the combination of various mediums applied over the top of paintings, including greylead pencil and charcoal, afford the works elegance and movement. Sahyoun has worked in the Arts Project studio since 2012, with his first solo held virtually in 2020 and has exhibited in APA’s annual group exhibitions. His work is held in private collections in Australia.
