About the artist...
Read "A Dionysian look of the human figure in oil paintings by Christopher Lee Gilmer" in Artpeople here.
Take a virtual tour of Gilmer's 2019 show here and read the Austin Chroncile review here.
Inspired by datamoshing, quantum mechanics, and the over-saturated imagery of life, Chris, creates artwork that explores the psychological effects of the physical mutations of the figure in time as though various realities merge. Using a cubist approach he explores the different outcomes of candid moments as one singular reality. Often blurring the lines between realism and expressionism, sometimes adding primitive line art to the entangling almost parallel poses.
