CHRIS GLABB:

FINE ARTIST, AN INNOVATIVE THINKER.

& CAT DAD

Hybrid oil paint and silkscreen paintings celebrate and critique hierarchies by appropriating existing material and challenging it to stand against abstraction. These mediums exaggerate and emphasize each other’s inherent differences, while familiarity provides a point of access to the conversation.

AI-generated images, screenshots and archival materials combine into pseudo-photographic works, where the viewer may not realize that I rarely operate a camera. These works question the purpose and limits of photography.

I have found that the place for video art within my practice is purely experimental; I create videos that speak of the things that static medium cannot: sound, the passage of time, and movement.
