In Chris O'Brien's Boat a fleet of tall ships navigate the choppy waters. In signature style, O'Brien conceptually takes ownership of and inhabits one of the boats.

Chris O'Brien is a multi-disciplinary artist who works across painting, printmaking, sculpture, digital art and artist zines. His short-form graphic novels artist videos bring together many aspects of his practice, and he is currently writing a never-ending urban story on his passion for old houses located in Melbourne and its surrounds. Personal connections are interwoven with his subjects and inform the narrative from the research stage through to production and public outcome.

O'Brien has worked at Arts Project Australia since 2002 and presented his solo exhibition at Arts Project Australia in 2007. He has been involved in many collaborations, and group exhibitions and his work is held in public collection including National Gallery of Victoria, as gifted by Stuart Purves and private collections worldwide
