Christopher Ross (aka GAWD) is a surrealist artist based in Vancouver, Canada. He has exhibited accross Cadada and internationaly, including cities such as Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, London and Paris.
Originally from Montreal, Ross’s artistic journey began over 20 years ago. Drawing influence from both traditional graffiti and contemporary surrealism; it was a job fixing egg machines, where Ross discovered the ink used to date eggs was an interesting medium for painting, directly influencing his signature splatters and eventually the use of liquid watercolour.
Ross’s practice reflects on the working class struggle, and, relationships among people, nature and the environment. Such themes are subtly rendered throughout his work where Ross reveals a landscape that is both whimsical and complex.
