Chris Pig

Born: 1965

Printmaker. Graduated from Exeter College of Art and Design with a BA (Hons) in Art and Design before continuing on to study for his MA at Winchester College of Art. In his personal statement, Pig talks about how he’s been printmaking since he can remember; making his first etching plate when he was about fourteen, and little has taken his interest since. Since childhood he has been interested in representing the world around him, specifically narrative situations that sum up the human condition. He has won awards for his printmaking, including the Originals 09 Society of Wood Engravers Award, where he was joint winner along with Hilary Paynter, and the ‘Drawing the City’ competition in 2009; an open competition for residents of Hackney.
