Chris Newpher

Chris brings art and storytelling together through compelling abstract oil paintings that pull together shape, flow, shadows, depth, and design. Chris grew up in the DC area and spent years as a bike messenger. He then moved to Boston, MA and Oakland CA pursuing a career in restaurant management before settling down in Fort Collins, CO following his passion and earning a BFA in Fine Arts from Colorado State University in 2015. Chris relocated to Phoenix, AZ in 2016 to pursue a career in painting. HIs work tells stories that weave together urban influences along with organic elements into his unique abstract style. Using small brushes to create soft fluid shapes that swirl and churn with a vibrant pallet of colors each painting creates a unique story for the viewer to translate.
