Christofer Chin (LA)
Rooted in stenciling and street art, Christofer Chin's paintings depict abstracted landscapes and fantasy environments. Blurring the line between nature and architecture, Chin's rendering of the landscape is represented by geometric shapes of color that create a parallel to the shapes inherent in architecture. With the primary aesthetic influence being an "altered state of consciousness" combined with usage of unnatural vibrant colors and the geometrical devices, the paintings give off a psychedelic dream-like quality where abstract shapes become mountains, roller coast tracks, or large zig-zag lines transform into tree leaves.
Christofer Chin received his BFA from Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles in 2002 and was included in Otis' 2006 exhibition Otis LA: Nine Decades of Los Angeles Art at the LA Municipal Art Gallery, Barnsdall Park. Chin has exhibited his work in galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Melbourne (Australia), and Barcelona (Spain). A book of his photography, Finger Bang!, was released in 2006 with book signings at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and POP in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Anthem Magazine, Nylon, and Rojo Magazine have featured his work. Chin is featured on the cover in the November issue of Flaunt Magazine.
