Filo Sofi Arts is pleased to announce, “All Is Lies”, an exhibition by Norwegian-based artist, Chris Reddy. Chris Reddy (b. Tromsoe, Norway, 1970) has become known for his vibrant, psychedelic paintings and drawings that merge abstraction and figuration in a rhythmic and seamless stream of consciousness. Drawing upon the mundane scenes of daily life and the churning of a world in disarray, Reddy’s work is radiant and dynamic; at once colorful and virtually playful, yet dislocated and dark in its realizations.
Employing a diverse range of aesthetic sources, including; American, Indian, African and European pre art history’s visual culture, street art, cartoonesque ideograms, architectural ornamentation and modernist painting, Reddy’s work investigates the gap between visual art, the written word and the art of storytelling. Reddy’s intuitive techniques yield the crystallization of a complete moment, allowing his paintings to unfold and capture a stream of consciousness or subconsciousness.
Chris Reddy is an Indian / South African / Norwegian artist based in Norway and his work was seen public as early as 1983, doing murals with his arctic graffiti crew, the Tac Team. Reddy is the first and only artist in the world to have had the honor of being the Visual Voice of the 2014 Chess Olympiad. Reddy has received multiple grants from the Norwegian Council of Culture to support his continuous evolvement, including Arbeidsstipend fra NBK and Sparebankstiftelsen Nord Norge.
