| Rubber Ducks and Dinosaurs invade Vital 5!
From Twinkie barbecues to rubber duck shark attacks, Chris Thompson's long
anticipated dark humor is brought back to Vital 5 for a scorching summer exhibition.
His odd visions of dinosaurs, Santa Claus and road kill re-invent the objects
of everyday life into a playful and clever landscape.
A graduate of Cornish Art School and reputed tattoo artist, this represented
Chris Thompson's first solo gallery exhibition and some of his most powerful work
to date. he has created album cover art for bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate
and Sky Lobby, created cover artwork for Cake Magazine and previously displayed
work at Black Lab Gallery, Roq La Rue and Vital 5 Productions. In Chris's own
words, "I approach the imagery in my paintings with the knowledge that the
finished work will make me laugh, whether from a memory of a childhood experience
or a bad joke. Perhaps cringe is a better word than laugh." |
