Biography
Christian Quintin was born in
the town of Saint Brieuc, on
the northern coast of
Brittany, France. He studied
at the Beaux Arts Academy in
Paris and moved to the United
States in 1981.
His work has been exhibited in
many solo and group shows, in
galleries and museums such as
the Vorpal Gallery in San
Francisco and the Crocker Art
Museum in Sacramento.
Christian was represented by
the famed Vorpal Gallery in
San Francisco and New York,
which gave its first U.S. show
to M.C. Escher. He has also
been the recipient of numerous
public and private
commissions. Christian lives
in Northern California. For

Art Statement
I wish my art to be seen as

create beauty.
I work mostly with pen and
ink, pastels and oils. From my
body of work, two distinct
styles readily emerge. The
first is narrative, a
kaleidoscope of images
representing consciousness
that often suggests
ever-changing boundaries,
ephemeral...
