With a foreword by his long-time friend and collector Michael Palin and a fine text by the author Robert Hewison, this book explores Chris Orr RA’s influences and significant contribution as an artist and teacher.
This special edition of the book features the print Brittania on the Move. A hand-coloured engraving, it is published in a limited edition of 30, individually signed and numbered by the artist.
The virtuosic works of Chris Orr revel in the surreal comedy of human life, juxtaposing the everyday and the extraordinary with playful humour and an acute eye for detail.
"One thing this book reminds me most forcibly is how prolific Chris has been. His appetite for looking at the world seems never to have diminished. There's always something new to be looked at and experienced and digested and made sense of." - Michael Palin
