People seem very relaxed and joyful around him. He is a very special presence as person. A playful person and a deep thinker in one. I love the way he embraces imagination, creativity and intellect all together. He lives in many dimensions and his paintings have a unique blend of energy, realism and the abstract. The images are beautiful to my eyes and at the same time open me up to an expanded perception of "reality". He is for real gifted and a gift.
I'm an Animation student here in the states and throughout my pursuit of a career I've put the fine art aspect of my passion aside. I love the power of storytelling and deeply admire the work animation studios produce, that said your painting has inspired me to find a way to connect the world's of fine art and studio art to tell the amazing stories of people who need to be heard. Truly Christian you are an inspiration to make this a better, more beautiful and honest world, thank you so much for what you bring to this life.
"Color is a distraction to content", this quote your friend the photographer said , and I find this concept very interesting because I've done work in b/w and felt that way doing the paintings. C.Hook You are an inspiration and an example of how deep this art of painting can be . The concepts and research that goes into your work is what sets you apart from the rest , your thirst for learning shows in work and I wish you all the best in your discoveries.
This video was my initial exposure to Christian Hook. I'm not able to explain it, but his work uses my intellect to somehow bypass the left brain and make the leap to an intuitive right brain response. That sounds like an impossibility, I know. But that's how his work feels in my head.
How we see... it’s so much more than sight and senses Christian. We see with our whole being, the sum of all our experiences and where we apply our awareness. How we see is truly fascinating. I really like the work you’re doing and it’s a pleasure to watch your art career develop.
It's kind of impossible not to love your work, Christian, but also you yourself as a wonderful human being. Your success is clearly well-deserved. Thank you for sharing these delightful glimpses of your journey. I hope to see your work in person one day.
What a really decent family and what a great, personable artist it produced. I love that reply to his grandad "I don't want to grow up!". And he never did. Magic!
This man has made many to pick up brush and scribble.... That's what is inspiration and thats what is art..... Not only the critiques like it. But It reached and moves the core of normal people....
@@earlsandyevens i think hes unique because he uses realism with abstraction...and that i believe is the mesmerizing quality.... You find your subject of interest and you lose it.... Then you frantically try to search it again and you find something else.... His art has a great deal of psychological play to it..... I love love love his work..... I think his art pieces are timeless.... I am not rich, but if i had some money... I would surely keep one of his creations...
@@Roheryn100 Even if Christian hasn't found Jesus or any other religeous figure, it doesn't make him a lesser wonderful person or artist. Why do people keep on thrusting their Gods on others?

This artist's work is so beautiful, it makes me cry. It is very rare that such a talent emerges.
The art and the artist elicit strong emotions in me as well! ❤

Powerful, wonderful. Beautiful. His work has everything.
his portrait of fabrice muamba is sensational, the explanation behind the key in the portrait is amazing.

Absolute genius! Christian, your work is mind blowing

I wasn’t sure of what style of painting I loved the most until I saw your work Christian. So beautiful.
Well done, Christian! Ι am one of the newly added great fans of yours! God has blessed you!

When I think my painting is going really well I look at Christian hook and it makes me try harder
What a really decent family and what a great, personable artist it produced. I love that reply to his grandad "I don't want to grow up!". And he never did. Magic!

But It reached and moves the core of normal people....
But he has the skill of a realist painter when he adds his "sqribble" as you call it.

I love your work, it inspires me so much to develop my style in painting all the time, thank you.
Happy for you, and beautiful family! Every video of you made me emotional (in a good way) 👏🏻 Bravo
This can only be described as God-given talent. You're something special. God bless you. Hope to own one of your animal paintings one day.
Great work Christian Hook. Would ever consider doing a demo of your work for those of us who are learning to paint ? Peace and creative success.
You are a greater artist than you know. 💗 I hope one day to see your exhibition, your amazing !
Such a gifted artist, his style reminds me a bit of Frank Frazetta.
Just love your work …..
Fabulous!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🇺🇸😷🎶
An amazing .........force of talent!
When i see your work i am thinking i need a whole extra life to be a better painter 🙈
Christian...you are amazing! Oh how I wish I could afford to commission a portrait from you!
Man' you are amazing artist!
Beautiful
I'm so happy someone won that is so brilliant hooray xxx
I'm just finding out about Christian and wow.
amigo, es realmente maravilloso tu arte¡¡¡
I agree, color is usually a distraction.
Where did he get his accent from? His parents both just have a typical British accent but he sounds French almost. Great work!
I would love to have one of those booklets you show --- are they available for sale and to order ?
stunning
Christian....will there be a second edition of your book. I am in Canada and would love to get one
I pray you find Jesus Yeshua , Son of the almighty living God.
Why do you think he hasn’t ?

Hardly Darwin! Beautiful but irrelevant.
I think you missed the point ❤️
