Christopher LeBrun is a British artist known for his romantic, yet modern, figurative paintings. Active as an artist mostly in the 1980s, LeBrun set himself apart from other figurative artists by restoring the classical tradition of painting.

The subjects in his paintings seem to be surrounded by mystery and mythology; horses, wings, and dreamy landscapes exude romanticism. Texture also plays an important role in his work; the painted surfaces are manipulated, scraped and built-up. His brushstrokes are sometimes visible on the periphery of the dominating image in the painting.

LeBrun was born in Portsmouth in 1951. His art education was completed at the Slade School of Fine Art (1970-1974) and the Chelsea School of Art (1974-1975), both in London. He was a professor at the Brighton, Slade and Wimbledon Schools of Art between 1976 and 1983. He has exhibited his art at the British Council, London, the British Museum, London, The National Gallery, Oslo, and The Courtauld Gallery, London as well as in many other museums internationally.
