Chris Gollon   is an established name in British painting, and has had 5 solo shows in British museums. In 1998, he exhibited with Yoko Ono, David Bowie and Gavin Turk in ‘ROOT’, a crossover exhibition of contemporary music and art created by Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, at the Chisenhale Gallery, London. In 2001, the award-winning River & Rowing Museum in Henley-on-Thames, (with the aid of the Victoria & Albert Museum), purchased Gollon’s hinged triptych ‘Big Fish Eat Little Fish’, which now forms part of the permanent collection alongside works by Elizabeth Frink and Raoul Dufy. In 2004, Chris Gollon was invited to show in St Paul’s Cathedral with Craigie Aitchison, Maggi Hambling, Bill Viola and Tracey Emin. In 2005, the Huddersfield Art Gallery purchased a major painting by Chris Gollon entitled ‘Einstein & The Jealous Monk’, which now hangs in the permanent collection alongside works by L.S. Lowry and Francis Bacon. Gollon’s work has been widely reviewed in the national press and specialist arts press.
