Artist Bio:

Chris Cantley is an artist, graphic designer, and music enthusiast. He  lives and works in Long Island City, New York. Chris holds a BFA in  expanded drawing and print media, from the University of the Arts along  with a master’s degree in visual communication from Pratt Institute. He  has created graphic identity systems, publications, brand guidelines,  and comprehensive marketing collateral for top tier clients such as CBS,  New York University, and Scholastic. A driving principal in his art as  well as his design work combines technical proficiency with juxtaposing  the unexpected.

Artist Statement:

My work emerges from a space where instinct, memory, and absurdity  collide. I create tactile, mixed-media compositions that explore the  fractured narratives of our interior and external worlds. Using paint,  collage, found materials, and heavily textured surfaces, I construct  visual environments that straddle figuration and abstraction, humor and  critique, dream and debris.
