"STACKED" exemplifies Christian's mastery of contrasts and his deep admiration for architecture. In this piece, he skillfully merges complexity with simplicity, employing intricate drawing techniques to create geometric shapes that evoke architectural elements. These are juxtaposed against a minimalist, neutral color palette featuring shades like grayscale, burnt umber, Payne's gray, titan buff, dried mushroom, and graphite grey. The sky's hues are mirrored in the lower border, while the graphite grey of the ground is reflected in the upper border. Crisp, clean lines are achieved through the use of painter's tape and matte medium. Inspired by the acclaim for "Booktropolis" and the anticipation of his first art exhibition, Christian aimed to showcase his versatility and challenge himself to "keep things simple." Adhering to his rule that profiles facing right depict book pages, this painting embodies that concept. The "tower" in the piece can be interpreted as a subconscious expression of his loneliness as an only child, or as a testament to the idea of success—each cuboid representing an accolade or achievement, with the tower growing taller with each success or life lesson. Influenced by architecture, Christian stacks these rectangular prisms in a seemingly unorganized manner, highlighting the beauty of imperfection. On May 25th, 2024, "Stacked" was proudly displayed and sold at the inaugural ArtJam event in Toronto.
