BD CLASS OF 2011

Chris Christophi selected in BD's class of 2011.

Extract from article:

" The judges were beguiled by Christophi's series of atmospheric drawings. 'Beautiful renderings created a melancholy poetry where it was almost possible to hear the movement of the boats through the water and sucking and sighing of the Venice Lagoon,' said Charlotte Skene Castling. It was the best of this year's environmentally motivated projects. "
