Bio
Sas Christian (b. 1968, London, UK)
A British-born artist hailing from London UK, currently lives with her husband, fellow artist, sculptor Colin Christian in Schenectady, NY. Her artistic journey began at boarding school in England and was honed at Bournemouth Art College, UK.
Christian’s distinctive artistic style revolves around portraying big-eyed girls, a thematic thread woven through her body of work. Inspired by luminaries like Tamara De Lempicka and Mark Ryden, as well as influences from cinema, fashion and internal turmoil, she creates art that resonates deeply with her audience. Her paintings are characterized by micro expressions and an intense gaze, drawing viewers into the emotional tapestry she weaves on canvas. Her oeuvre is often classified as Pop Surrealism or New Contemporary, reflecting her ability to infuse modernity into classical oil techniques.
Her artistic footprint extends nationally and internationally, with exhibitions held in London, France, Italy and Hong Kong. Notably, her work has graced the walls of The Bristol Museum and Art Gallery, UK and she was the headlining artist at the 24th 2024 annual “The Dirty Show” Detroit, USA.
Sas Christian’s artistic journey, marked by a transatlantic trajectory, continues to captivate with its fusion of classical and contemporary influences, through the intense gaze of her big-eyed protagonists, Christian invites viewers into a world where emotions and expressions become the focal point, transcending cultural boundaries and resonating with art lovers around the globe.
