Christopher Orchard is one of the leading exponents of the drawn image in Australia and is well recognised by his peers in Australia, Europe and the United States. Much loved by the many students who have been privileged to have him as a teacher at the Adelaide Central School of Art, Christopher was awarded an Arts SA Fellowship to assist him to prepare for an exhibition in New York in late 2011.
Christopher regularly exhibits with BMGArt, Adelaide and has work held by the Art Gallery of South Australia, Artbank, Government House (SA), The British Petroleum Collection (London), Kedumba Drawing Collection (NSW), FH Fauldings and numerous private collections locally and internationally. Represented in Australia by BMGArt Adelaide, South Australia, Wagner Gallery Sydney NSW and Stephen Rosenberg Fine Art, New York.
