About the Artist

Chris Simonite

Chris Simonite is an artist and art instructor 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. His work is in private collections on three continents (also on Earth). He currently teaches oil painting and watercolor at the Winnipeg Art Gallery Studio and Forum Art Centre.
