Chris Tennant takes inspiration from the city around him. The rich textures of new and old construction, the mending, and erosion. His painting’s surfaces mimic this design, smooth new surfaces give way to fault lines leading to broken and torn edges. On top of these textured grounds he paints traditional observation realism.

Chris studied Fine Arts at Columbus College of Art and Design, focusing on painting and sculpture. Currently he works in Franklinton as a studio artist and 3D designer.
