9 July 2025
When Sydney-born painter Christopher Horder was in Year 10, his English teacher gave him Jack Kerouac’s 1957 novel On The Road. Influenced by its anti-conformist message, Horder left school a year later to enrol in a Diploma of Fine Arts at TAFE. “I had to go and start doing what I wanted to do,” he says. Soon after, Horder rented a space at Lennox Street Studios in Sydney’s Newtown, where, aside from a productive year in Berlin in 2010, he’s been painting on and off for 30 years.
