CP Gill Art online shop is now open!
Chris P Gill
CP Gill, also known by his Chinese name “Li Yun Fei”, worked in China from 1992 to 2014 when he had to return to the UK due to struggling with diminishing eyesight from MS.
In 1992 he opened his first studio in the artists’ village of the Old Summer Palace, the centre of all the emerging Chinese artists at that time. Chris’ work deals with philosophy, history, internal thinking, poetry, storytelling, and the future.
Whilst living in China, over time, he documented and interpreted the changing societies in the Country, creating a visual diary with his paintings and mixed-media works. Chris’ work has a sense of magic realism, interweaving fantasy, and reality and has been described as a kind of science fiction.
“In China, he has his own art; in Britain, he represents a part of Chinese art. This is Li Yun Fei and Chris Gill, two cultural personalities.”(Pu Jie, artist and professor of Fine Arts College of Shanghai University)

The Apparat, Giclée print
Chris Gill is a very good friend of mine since my expat years in Shanghai. I am proud to be able to facilitate custom ‘prints on demand’ of his work.
Sadly many of his original pieces are stuck in a warehouse in China, especially the larger oil paintings, but thankfully many have been photographed which makes them now available as high quality Giclée prints.
CP Gill’s work would make a fantastic colourful statement in many interior styles or a great addition to a gallery wall. The work can be custom sized to an extent and depending on the work’s file size. The pieces are offered through the highest quality Giclée printing, which gives the print the closest representation to the original artwork.
Please find below a selection of his artwork. If you cannot find what you are looking for in the web shop. Maybe a different size, please contact me for a cost estimate for the size you have in mind. If you are an Interior Designer and wish to have recommendations for prints suitable for a design concept or colour scheme you are working on, please let me know as there are many more than what is currently offered as prints.
Chris also has original work for sale, mainly work on paper. Contact me for more information.
