From an early age, art making has been Chris Anders’ (b 1962) refuge and voice, a space where whimsy and introspection on his lived experience collide. Chris’s journey has been shaped by trials, self-determination and resilience, leading him to cultivate a style that feels explosively psychedelic and autobiographical. 

Working primarily in drawing media on paper, Chris harnesses impactful, expressive line work and rich color to weave together densely packed scenes. Each scene is constructed from the wellspring of memory and imagination and explores themes of farming, religion, politics, music, fantasy landscapes, and the vibrant interplay of sex and rock and roll.
