Chris Horder (born in Sydney, New South Wales in 1976) is an Australian contemporary artist. Horders’s paintings are an exploration of form, colour and process, fusing the Ancient Chinese ink techniques of the T’ang Dynasty to the action paintings of Abstract Expressionism and post-Abstract Expressionism.

Education
Horder completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts with honours at the National Art School in Darlinghurst in 2008 and in 2011 was awarded the Young Emerging Artist Award in the Mosman Art Prize.

Major Exhibitions
Horder's works have been displayed at Kunstquartier Bethanien (A Perfect Day to Chase Tornadoes Berlin 2010) and the Liverpool Street Gallery (Berlin Zeit 2011 and The Random Walk 2009)

Themes
A central theme to his works is "idea of the alchemy of the subconscious and the metaphysical aspects of paint itself, the work challenges the viewer’s interpretation of the visual world through the indulgences of chance imagery".
