Chris with 'Seventh Wave'

"Chris Armstrong paints with the grace and confidence of considerable training and well-distilled purpose. Armstrong's pictures are isolated, quietly perilous, and subconsciously full of warning. They are also alive and ever so slightly promising of connection and hope. Armstrong has a unique and dangerously honest vision, and he renders it with disarming precision."


-- Frederick G. Dillen, author of Hero and Fool.


Chris studied painting and art history in Florence, Italy before receiving his BA from Bucknell University. Chris went on to receive his MFA from NYU where he won the school's MVP award and exhibited at Washington Square East Galleries. As a young lad, Chris studied under his father, the late American realist David Armstrong. Chris' current representation spans the country and includes the Meyer East Galleries of Santa Fe. Chris' work was recently selected for the U.S. State Department's 'Art in Embassies' program. Recent corporate collectors include Fidelity Investments.
