Chris Soria is a visual artist and professional creative who works in a variety of media, primarily painting and photomontage.
His photomontages consist of original 35 mm photographs, cut, pasted, layered, and placed in plexiglass. Interests include time travel, dimensional manipulation, archaic industry, collective delusions, paradox, and the human spirit. Sorias artwork exudes architectonic expressionism fueled by a pervading curiosity for the cylical nature of all things. His concentration in the visual arts began very early in childhood with the encouragement of family, friends, and teachers alike, later attending
Parsons School of Design to study Illustration and Art Education.
In addition to creating for arts sake, Soria's clients include,
MTV,
BET,
Mark Ecko,
Zoo York,
Crooked Jaw,
Code and Theory, and
Yankee Stadium. His murals decorate walls throughout New York. Through
Groundswell Community Mural Project, he works with youth to create murals that increase civic participation and collective expression. His art communities include,
The Free Art Society,
Maniac Pumpkin Carvers,
North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition, and various collectives throughout NY.
With his back to the void, Chris Soria steps out from lifes puzzle like an escapee of the matrix, pointing his devices at the expelled fragments of a disintegrating reality, juggling projects and fortifying his footing as time and space separate all around him.
