Chris Langstroth has been a full time artist for twenty years after attending Ontario College of Art, and later graduating from Ryerson University in Toronto, specializing in film and photography. He has participated in numerous solo,group and juried exhibitions, and has his works in many corporate and private collections. 

"This year, I have been concentrating, increasingly, on ways of representing the human figure (in whole or part).I enjoy the physicality of thick paint and use knives to smear on one wet layer over another or to excavate through existing layers. Although I strive for a certain ‘visual plausibility’ in my work, representational accuracy is not my prime objective. The most enigmatic and interesting qualities particular to painting, have to do with the transformation of pigment in paste to an image on canvas.I am, therefore seeking to retain some visual evidence of the process used in making the image as a subtext for reading or interpreting it."
