About Me
- Chris McGee
- I've been drawing since I was 2 years old. What started out as copying T.V. cartoons and movie monsters for amusement and attention quickly expanded a lot throughout the years into many creative outlets. These have included illustration, underground comics,painting, conceptual art and also playing in various rock bands and experimental noise/improv guerilla theatre projects. Mixed media is now my main style of choice because it allows for a maximum of creative freedom and flexibility. It enables me to incorporate elements of past art styles and techniques as well as inventing new ones. it's fun and exiciting to combine diverse materials such as oil pastels, markers, sketchbook drawings, magazine cutouts, wood, canvas, fabric, metal, cardboard, dirt, leaves, twigs and paint. The end results are often intricate images that depict a wide spectrum of the human experience: slapstick, psychodrama, social politics scifi/fantasy and sometimes even the sublime. The artists that inspire me the most right now are those whose work contains a large amount of dynamic tension between figuration and abstraction. These include Philip Guston, Basquiat, A.R. Penck and Leon Golub.
