Chris Capoyianesis an American painter and draftsman with national exposure. His works often depict stories from the bible, interpreting these legends with a sardonic sense of humor to plumb the metaphorical scope of biblical archetypes for today’s world. Chris often places these figures in a carnivalesque setting, heightening the drama of the original scenes while also calling attention to the general performativity of narrative and the interplay between real and imagined. Working primarily in monochrome, his work has a strong graphic quality that plays into the seeming duality of the subject matter: light, dark, good, evil, foreground, background.
