Prior to relocating to the Maritimes, Chris hosted an exhibit called “Hood Times” at GoodFellas Gallery featuring dioramas of run-down city blocks – not of the typical variety though as each block represented about 2000 sq. feet of inner-city blight at a 1:150 scale.
Chris is inspired by his surroundings (the sights, the smells, the souls of a city) as well as by hip-hop, inner-city life and artful expression. He has always felt that urban decay was a fascinating phenomenon, especially in its capacity to completely redefine the character of a neighbourhood. Chris’ latest muse is an imaginary Fredericton – a conceptualization that represents a thriving metropolis inclusive of everyone’s favourite and familiar places – made completely of LEGO.
Chris will be showing his exhibit at The Cap on October 1st -sponsored by Moonshine Creek; the show runs from 1pm-8pm upstairs. After which, Kill Chicago will play the afterparty downstairs.
