Chris’
paintings are a contemporary portrayal of the spirit and essence of the
American cowboy. After majoring in art at Montana State University-Billings, he
later attended the highly acclaimed Art Center College of Design in Los
Angeles. His “action painting” also captures and depicts the gesture, mood and
energy of the horse and cowboy figures by arbitrarily and instinctively combining
realism and abstraction. He depicts the embodiment of the human and equine
figures with a genuinely personal and expressionistic approach. With an ability
to emulate a perception of character in his subjects, his style is undeniably
subjective; and through his art he bears the hopes, dreams, and passions, not
only for himself, but all who desire to experience the spirit of the American
West.
