‘Now you see me’ is a stunning blown glass and mixed media modular installation. It will be shown in Room 9 with the painting that inspired it – The Card Party by Gawen Hamilton (1698-1737).
Chris Day rediscovered his love of art after twenty years working as a heating engineer. He studied ceramics and glass at Wolverhampton University, graduating in 2021 with an MA in Design and Applied Art. The skills he gained in his trade as a plumber inform his practice, and he includes found materials used in the heating industry in his work.
Chris Day describes himself as mixed race and often explores his identity through his artworks. His diverse heritage led him to research themes linked to the transatlantic slave trade and its legacies. His passion lies in creating art that sparks dialogue and reflection on these issues.
