Piece description from the artist
It became apparent to me while working on this piece that it's starting size of 12 × 16 was woefully too small for the feeling this creation elicited. It had to be bigger. In fact, I'm not convinced it shouldn't be 10 ft. wide. It speaks volumes in the shapes and muted browns and tans.
Christopher ‘Kit’ Grieder lives in Falls. Church, VA, living among the greenery that inspires his art, but leaving to avoid the winter he hates. Many years ago, he graduated from Metropolitan State University with a degree in Industrial Design and an avid interest in art and design. After several years of working at everything from advertising design to contract management, he set working life aside and became a free man, able to concentrate on growing things and creating art.
His love of everything green and growing informs his particular bent on his artistic sensibilities. Patterns, textures, light and shadow draw him in and pull the artistic ideas right out. He works in digital media, using photos to start the process that results in abstraction, as well as un-retouched photography and mixed media drawings. His goal for his work is that is fills the visual senses with patterns of color drawn from nature, that fill the brain with nature’s elements of art. When he’s not working on something creative, Christopher is either out puttering around the yard, or maybe drinking wine poolside, or out walking around the lake.
