Chris Crites

Artist

Chris Crites painted his first four mug shots in acrylic on paper bags in 1999. Having committed to arrest photographs as subject matter since 2002, he has developed and refined his brightly coloured, limited palette style. He has since added popular culture icons, musicians, commissioned portraiture, mushroom clouds, nudes, and firearms to his subject matter. Crites has shown and been published across the United States. Having a degree in graphic design in addition to an art degree helps him in his web design and content management work as well as doing art and design for local musicians.

Crites has exhibited his work in group and solo shows such as Arrested Moments in Chicago in 2010. He is represented by the Jack Fischer Gallery in San Francisco and he is based in Seattle.
