Instructor

Chris Simonite

Chris Simonite is an artist from Winnipeg who spends most of his time making paintings (and occasionally animations/videos/performances) based on pop culture, conspiracy theories and other things that lie at the murky edges. These days he spends most of his time painting with a Cubist inspired bent he calls Cubo-Weirdism.

He has three degrees (BA, BFA, MFA, if you must know) and has shown his art in four countries on Earth. He is also a member of the legendary (in their own minds) Frost Shield Kerfuffle Collective.

Chris Simonite has a musical/comedy/performance art alter ego, a faux Cowpunk Star called Stan Dickie, who was the subject of his MFA thesis. He’s pretty sure the University of Ottawa never forgave him for it.
