Christopher Bell Illustration

I am Christopher M. Bell. I am a 24 year old artist, living in Chicago, IL (Pilsen). Artist Statement: My process of painting is inspired by the background I have as a graffiti writer, skateboarder and BMXer, and the Memphis punk rock scene. With this inspiration, I use stencils and other forms of media to convey my art. The paintings I create are produced to capture the viewers attention and pull “THE SOUL” deep into the painting. Along with evoking the soul, I also want my work to stimulate their brain and make them wonder what exactly it is they are looking at…what’s being portrayed in the image. Escapism is a main theme in my work. I explore how society escapes from whatever is plaguing their lives, and even how I escape by creating the art itself - as cutting stencils and brushing paint across canvas has become a form of meditation for me. I am looking for design and painting jobs! Contact: christopherbellillustration@hotmail.com
