Christian Halna du Fretay

Christian Halna du Fretay, known for his evocative synthesis of abstraction and figuration, has recently embraced the unique possibilities offered by Japanese shikishi boards. Traditionally used in Japan for calligraphy, poetry, and artwork, shikishi boards consist of a high-quality handmade paper surface mounted on rigid backing. This medium provides a compact yet versatile canvas for experimentation, perfectly complementing Halna du Fretay’s innovative approach to texture and color.
