Christopher Cart American (born 1961)
Christopher Cart's most recent major work is a 40 by 6 foot mural, a composition of color and movement with 22 almost life-sized dance figures showing strength in human form. Throughout his career he has painted other murals, countless watercolors and oils, portraits in both oils and watercolors and illustrations for many books and periodicals. His professional career encompasses virtually every aspect of the visual fine arts.
Christopher Cart studied art and art history at the University of Washington, Seattle and Coker College, South Carolina. After leaving school he began selling his paintings and sculptures at several galleries in the Seattle area. Now he is represented by galleries in his native New England region.
From the late 80's and into the 90's Christopher Cart illustrated six of the best selling Frugal Gourmet cookbooks and since that time he has created art for many other books and hundreds of illustrations for publications. Most recently his work has been published as book covers for many classics of American literature, including Lydia Bailey and Northwest Passage. And he is working on a fully illustrated edition of one of his personal favorites, Moby Dick by Melville.
Cart received the official commission for the portrait of Maine Chief Justice Daniel Wathen which was unveiled at a ceremony in the Superior Court in the State Capital in the spring of 2001.
In 2005 Cart was invited to contribute a portrait for the Portraits of Conscience exhibit sponsored by Amnesty International and the Lincoln Street Center. This portrait is now part of a traveling exhibit which can be seen at the University of Maine, Augusta through October and November 2005.
Two paintings, a watercolor and an oil, were recently included in the Contemporary Realism Exhibit at the Centre for the Living Arts in Mobile, Alabama.
The Venezuelan Consulate on 5th Avenue, New York City hosted the Representing Reality exhibit which included three lyrical oil portraits from Cart's series of young musicians.
Christopher Cart's watercolor, Sunday Walk, was featured in The Art of Maine in Winter,by art critics Carl Little and Arnold Skolnik, a book featuring many of Maine's top artists both old and contemporary.
