About

Christopher Houweling, a multidisciplinary artist based in San Pancho, Mexico, skillfully moves across multiple artistic realms. With a background in visual arts, graphic design, tattooing, curation, and ownership of GALERÍA TEUKARI, he is constantly exploring new creative avenues. In 2023, Christopher decided to embark on a transformative journey, leaving his roots in San Pancho to immerse himself in Berlin's vibrant artistic scene. The distance of 9,944 km marked the beginning of a new chapter in his artistic career.

The stark contrast between the equatorial climate, characterized by tropical landscapes and the rhythmic waves of the Pacific Ocean in San Pancho, and Berlin's cold, wintry ambiance profoundly inspired Christopher's artistic endeavors. After spending six months in Berlin, he now presents his inaugural solo exhibition at tunnel19 Studio in Kreuzberg. This showcase provides viewers with a deeply intimate narrative, offering insights into his experiences and personal reflections on this transformative journey.

Christopher's work is profoundly sensitive and intricately detailed, resembling immersive installations that narrate the story of his emotions. Transcending the conventional paper medium, his contemporary drawing style incorporates sculptural elements, blurring the boundaries between 2D and 3D. By reproducing and re-interpreting artefacts from the city, Christopher presents a unique and singular vision of Berlin through his artist's lens. His artistic expression flirts with Surrealism, challenging figurative conventions and traditional representations of scenes and still life, giving rise to a visual language that evokes a world connected to his imagination, subconscious, and dreams.

Christopher finds himself in a transitional phase, moving from figurative work to abstract forms. His focus has turned towards connecting with his own emotions and translating them into frequencies, to represent the energetic flow experienced during altered states of consciousness induced by psychedelic or medicinal plants, as well as deep meditative states.

The result is a 'universal language,' conveyed through abstract patterns that can be interpreted as sound or water frequencies, among others. The imperfect symmetry in the mirrored figures he crafts creates an illusion of movement, introducing dynamism and engagement for viewers. Christopher's art beckons each individual to immerse themselves in his intricate world and forge a connection with the emotions it evokes. After all, art is an expression of our distinct perspectives and experiences.
