[edit] Biography
An American painter with German and Hungarian roots, Christopher Fitzgerald hails from Washington State. Born in 1977, he graduated from Western Washington University in 1999. Fitzgerald spent the summer of 1999 in Italy and France studying art after his college education, and returned to Seattle where he first began exhibiting his paintings. His first solo show in the fall of 2000 completely sold out. Based in Austin, Texas since 2001, the artist uses unexpected visual devices to explore the epistemological tension between religious fundamentalism and humanitarian ideals. Austin Chronicle visual arts writer Rachel Koper listed him as one of her “favorite individual artists of 2004” [1] and one of her “favorite artists by body of work in 2005.”[2] Shortlisted for Austin Museum of Art's 22-To-Watch 2005 exhibition and the Arthouse Texas Prize in 2006, this American painter's work is steadily maturing.
