Christopher Bucklow is a British artist known for his unique contributions to contemporary photography and painting. He is most famous for his “Guests” series, where he creates life-sized, radiant portraits without a camera. Using a unique process, he pricks thousands of tiny holes into aluminum foil to capture individual images of the sun, which together form the silhouette of a person. This cameraless technique uses light as both the subject and the medium, resulting in ethereal and spiritually resonant works. Influenced by art history and figures like Carl Jung and William Blake, his pieces are held in major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
