painter, sculptor & muralist

Chris Erickson is an artist recognized for his captivating use of color through contemporary works that blur the line between sculpture and painting. His art encourages the examination of color as expression and its relationship to human behavior.

Born in Denver, Chris became inspired through city skate culture iconography and the concrete canvas. Yet, finding home in the mountains guided him into an applied art practice—one imbedded in sense of place. His bodies of work are informed through these experiences and expose his ties to graphic design, graffiti art, and fine art techniques. Erickson’s art is often translated through the mediums of spray paint, acrylic, canvas, and panel; although, often merging industrial design and fabrication into his creative process.

Chris continues to execute in a multidisciplinary fashion, and remains inspired to utilize art as a platform for conversation.
