Christopher Mireles (b.1987) is a self-taught artist living and working in New York, NY.
Working primarily in oil, Mireles scrubs paint onto his canvas in layers, his brushstrokes articulating the careful examination of objects observed from life or imagination. His mark-making lends a palpable believability to his surreal tableaus. Throughout Mireles' practice, the artist balances humor with apprehension, and reality with the fantastical to build a world that is at once a dream and a dystopia.
