Chris Piazza

Artist Statement: I'm a mixed media artist who's primary work is large figures. I use vintage materials to weave reference, metaphor, archetype into a theater of the object. I pay homage to artists and old techniques that mean a lot to me, amusement parks, etc.The work takes a great deal of time. It's monastic and intimate to produce. My hope is that carries over in seeing it, especially first hand due to the size. I just finished a work that took 20 years. When you work on something that long it takes on a different meaning and becomes autobiography in a way.
