Christian has two faces when it comes to his art. One embedded in classical tradition, which is an evident gift shown through his mastery of portraiture, and the other in “Experimental Modernism.”  From the latter of the two, he has birthed a technique other wise known as Matricism and the invention of “Randall Painting Technologies.”

Matricism, a new derivative of Pointillism, is the technique in “which the practitioner attempts to design a logical, sequential, or scientific process for the technical construction of a pictorial statement” through the use of math.  The first stage of the painting is a grayscale under painting, or otherwise known as the “brightness design.”  Next in the process is the “wavelength design.” Here he selects the ratio of hues and values in color.
 
Christian uses the technique of Pointillism to create his paintings of Caddo Lake, which is located just outside of Shreveport.  Pointillism’s innovation is best known for in the work of one of the most famous paintings in history, Seurat’s, ” Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande,” which took nearly two years to create.

Because this technique makes severe physical demands on the artist such as, restricted movement and visual strain, he almost left it behind him.  However in 1999, Christian collaborated with technologists, who helped him develop a tool that allowed the art of pointillism to be brought back to life again. 

Christian’s use of mathematics in Matricism became the slab on which they began to develop the workings of the Randell Paintbrush, a robotic painting tool. This paintbrush allows him to avoid the disabling effects on both his body and eyes to create his uniquely profound images, but still puts him in full creative control of the art itself.  He decides the mixture of color that is given to the painting tool.  He also controls the location, amount, and texture of the paint that the tool is going to put on the canvas. He is the sole creator from the beginning to the end of the painting.  A servant to his own perfectionism, he merely allows the painting tool to take his direction, and lay down the base of the painting.  He then returns to each piece to do all the fine tuning and detail by hand, where he dedicates a minimum of 3-4 days to each canvas.  No canvas leaves his studio; with out a meticulous over hall by the artist’s hand.

Christian is available for portraits. He is one such artist, trained in the many classical traditions, Realism, Impressionism, and Realistic Impressionism, the favored style by most contemporary clients of this old world tradition.
