Chris played an integral role behind the scenes at Gallery Watatu, serving at the front reception counter and managing administrative duties during his tenure. Reflecting on its legacy, he believes the essence of Gallery Watatu lives on through its "artistic lineage"—a continuous family tree made up of its original pioneering artists, their students, and subsequent generations of creative descendants.
To successfully reconstruct and revive Gallery Watatu, Chris asserts that the initiative requires an unbiased, art-versed leader who focuses entirely on the art movement and prioritizes the welfare of the artists over financial gain. He advocates for building a unified, trust-based community of artists first, leveraging modern digital platforms and websites to showcase their work and reach a global audience without relying solely on traditional physical gallery models.
