Christopher Stout
Christopher Stout is an abstract reductive artist, whose work concerns a dance between the questions of, “what is the construct of painting?” and “what is the construct of sculpture?” His quest is the additive outcome in merging the vocabularies of both disciplines.
Stout is also the founder and director Art During the Occupation Gallery in Bushwick. Art During the Occupation Gallery is a contemporary art gallery showing subversive and difficult work by New York City artists. The gallery delights in serving as a platform for discourse on work that is challenging to authority paradigms, feminist, queer, anti-establishment, hyper- aggressive, mystic, and/or joyously sexual. The gallery celebrates a program concentration of performance and video artists, with an additional specialty in contemporary sculpture and painting. Stout was also the founder of Bushwick Art Crit Group (2013-2016), Bushwick NYC's artist lecture and exhibition series. BACG's mission was to foster an understanding Contemporary Art through the lens of the art & artists in Bushwick.
Stout has accomplished around 200 gallery performance/exhibitions, with 15 solos and 14 completed bodies of work, including Portraits of Narcissism, Ecdysis, Sacred Impiety, Unbridled! (1&2), Coma State (The Long Unpleasant Dream...), I am too ______ to be the Demographic, VIGIL a Day with(OUT) ART, New Work (Momentum), Power Symbols (Black White …
