Cedric Christie is a London-based artist who trained originally as a welder. His current studio, housed within a commercial metal fabrication factory, is located in the East London suburb of Dagenham – historically the home of the Ford Motor Factory.
Christie uses found industrial materials such as phenolic resin snooker balls, scaffolding pipes, coupler clamps, stainless steel channel, steel U-channel and cellulose automotive paint to make sculptures that mirror daily life while simultaneously exploring the boundaries of modernism and minimalism.
Rocket presented two solo exhibitions by Christie in 2001 and 2003. Now two decades on Jonathan Stephenson and his son Sid have curated the first survey exhibition of Christie's sculpture.
Open Saturdays 2 - 6pm & also by appointment throughout the week.
