Chris Brett b. Mar 1982

Chris is a mixed media artist from the Greater Toronto Area, Canada. Born and raised in Calgary, Chris grew up pulling influence from the fairgrounds of the Stampede, the train yards of rural Alberta, and the cure from boredom that Mad & Cracked Magazine provided.

Chris has taken his interest in graffiti, cartoons & children's books, and placed it all in the artistic blender creating a hybrid of styles. His works tend to focus on themes of Love, Lust, Nature, Manic joy & Heartbreak.

Chris’ work has a slightly goofy and jaded sense of humor; a laugh to keep from crying sense of mania in rich color and dark tones. A reaction to the good & bad things that life can sometimes hand you..
