Chris Wakefield
Into The Night...
Chris. Wakefield - Professional Artist
"I got to be a kid during the 70's and 80's. I didn't have a choice in this. It just sort of happened. I can't complain, really. compared to a lot of other places, the U.S.A. is a pretty great place to grow up. I grew up in a very visual and instantaneous world. I watched a load of TV, read comic books, listened to music all the time. I remember the very first music video on MTV, my parents buying a microwave, my first Whopper.
I loved the good parts of being a kid, never wanted to grow up. Parts of me never have. I like to have fun, and don't much like the responsibilities of being an adult. I was never any good at school or much else for that matter. I think that is why I like to paint so much. I get to just have fun, get lost in the color, no rules. It's where I feel the happiest, like I'm doing what I was meant to do. I feel like I'm the luckiest person in the whole world doing something I love and making a living at it."
"How do I define my work? It's colorful. I know that, but beyond that, I want to manipulate the common and ordinary, to stand out from the crowd, for people to say, that's a Wakefield. I want my work to be art, for people to love it for what it is, not to match their couches. I don't give a damn about that. I like to tweak people's noggins, get them to look at life from a different angle. My work is fun, sarcastic, sees the humor of life and looks cool."
