This website is dedicated to the memory of a much-loved man who was a son, a brother, a friend, an uncle, a sweetheart and a mentor to many aspiring artists. It is an effort to document the output of over 50 years of creation. If you can help us uncover the location of a painting or are simply moved to share how Christopher's paintings speak to you, please email us. We'll be happy to hear from you!
Sincerely, Christopher's sisters Tiana and Gayanne, and family friend Wendy.
Welcome to the online gallery of Canadian artist Christopher Pollari (1953 - 2024).
Although he lived in his hometown of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario for most of his life Christopher's enormous collection of paintings have found their way into homes and institutions around the world and the location of many of his paintings is unknown.
This collection has been pulled together from every source we have been able to access. There are photos of paintings that are in private collections, digital images downloaded from the art website Deviant Art, old photos Chris took in a more youthful exuberant effort to document his work and passed on to family and friends. Some are from Facebook. Therefore, the quality of many of these images cannot do justice to the art Christopher created. Few are colour matched and properly reproduced but it was an imperative to us to find some way to share the abundance of talent and imagination Christopher gave to the world.
We will continue to update and improve this online gallery.
In the absence of a catalogue to guide us on specific dates of creation, we have set up the galleries in decades.
Christopher was a romantic. There are stories to be uncovered in the study of his paintings. Please tour around at your leisure.
ALL ART OF CHRISTOPHER POLLARI IS COPYRIGHTED AND CANNOT BE REPRODUCED IN ANY FORM WITHOUT WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM HIS SIBLINGS.
