  • Artist: Chris Becker (United States, b. 1981)

Chris Becker is an artist and software engineer, who once dreamed of being an architect, based in New York City. He enjoys exploring surreal, fantastical forms that spark the imagination and conjure thoughts of dreams and strange new worlds. His art is often inspired by classical architecture, technology from the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the wealth of natural wonders to be found everywhere between the earth and the sky. Some of the art he most enjoys include the great vibrant landscapes of the Hudson River School, photography from the early 20th century, and the work of artists such as Hugh Ferriss, M.C. Escher, Yoshitaka Amano, as well as other contemporary fantasy and steampunk artists.

As a self-taught artist, Chris was inspired to paint at the age of 7 after watching Bob Ross on TV. Over the years he picked up digital art, and then settled into working primarily with graphite on paper and panel. Chris grew up in upstate New York and went to college in Buffalo, NY where he studied cognitive science and computational linguistics. He has worked in the technology industry for nearly two decades while developing his artwork on the side.
