CHRISTIAN VINCENT SANTA MONICA, b. 1966

BIOGRAPHY

Christian Vincent is a figurative painter living and working in Los Angeles, California. His earlier work, with its rich, dark colors and Chiaroscuro reminiscent of the Renaissance period, could be characterized as American realism, but with a narrative edge. Combining commentary related to the post-industrial world with observations about his personal experience, Vincent’s canvases are immersive, ethereal evocations of the dynamics of conformity and desire. His strong compositions feel melancholic and evoke a sense of isolation, often featuring youthful figures on the verge of adulthood, their innocence confronting the compromises of modern life. His more recent work embodies a soft surrealism, with its exploration of the symbols of culture, history, and mythology combined with the use of repetitive imagery and patterns, along with a more colorful palette.
