Painting For Julian

Chris Hood

Chris Hood (b. 1984, Atlanta, GA) plays directly with the picture plane, teasing the very notion of 'surface.' In his paintings, Hood aims to describe an experience where the physical and the virtual fuse and sit in a third, liminal space. Subsumed, stained, and bound by the surface of the painting, he often uses vernacular sources and humor to point to the tension in this uneasy experience. The interplay between characters amongst the layers of paint also activates a third type of response in the sometimes surreal, or psychedelic, painterly joining of imagery and color. In an enigmatic blend between clear figuration and errant abstraction, Hood creates a world within his set physical and material limitations.
