"Parasitic parents feed on cows deprived of ultraviolet radiation. Stock prices fluctuate. Crystal City ignites The Protein Wars."
Christopher Wassell (b. 1969) is an American abstract painter from Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania.
Raised in a military family, he lived in California and New York before beginning high school in Yokosuka Japan and graduating in the Washington, DC area. After studying painting and sculpture at Virginia Commonwealth University, he relocated to New Orleans, Louisiana where he became educated in music and cuisine.
He has been a professional drummer, chef, and stand-up comedian.
In 2018 he moved his studio practice from San Diego to Tijuana, where he currently resides.
He has one daughter (b. 2011)
Intuitive and elegantly raw-boned, Wassell’s symbolism-loaded tangle of work is a pleasurable mystery borne by contradiction. The intensity and refinement inspired by his youth in Japan battle the later, seductive excesses of three thousand long nights in pre-Katrina New Orleans.
As a skater kid in Yokosuka, a student of Fine Art at VCU, a chef in the French Quarter, printmaker, or percussionist with actionist art group Crash Worship ADRV, Wassell has always carved his own path without hesitation or restraint.
With a partly amputated hand, smoke-stung vision and a bit of brandy in the company of Bergson, Motherwell and Lynch, Wassell cuts up the cubist vocabulary and rises above the copycat detritus of his generation.
The result is work that is uniquely authentic, personal and sublime.
