Artist: Chris Scarborough
Ninja April 7th, 2009
Chris Scarborough’s work is simultaneously beautiful and grotesque. More than just bits of anthropomorphism and Japanese pop-culture, Chris bends reality with lovely graphite drawings of mushroom clouds and flexible, porcelain-skinned characters. His digitally altered photograph portraits of family and friends feature anime proportions (not surprising, he loves Akira) and explore similar themes of idealized cuteness and perfection.
Chris Scarborough is a Nashville native who received his BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2000. His work has been featured in ArtPapers, The Red Clay Survery, New American Paintings, Texas National, and the Kentucky National among others.
Chris is currently in a group show at the Copro Nason Gallery (running until April 25, 2009). He also has an upcoming May solo show at the Curator’s Office in Washington D.C.
