Christopher Fitzgerald (born April 8, 1977) is an American painter who also works in sculpture, photography and film. His extensive work is grounded in concepts of logotherapy, art theory, and theology; it culminates in his "FindingAFitzgerald" project and the idea of undermining the preexisting framework for contemporary painting in society.
He was born in 1977 in Melbourne Florida, and grew up on the Olympic Peninsula, a short ferry ride from Seattle. He received a BA from Western Washington University in 1999, then moved to Austin in 2000. During his career as a painter, he’s shown his work in a number of art galleries, and continues to see galleries as a good means of distributing his art. However, providing paintings to many who may never enter a gallery has become more and more appealing for a variety of reasons. Austin Artist Chronicle visual arts writer Rachel Koper listed him as one of her “favorite individual artists of 2004” [1] and one of her “favorite artists by body of work in 2005.”[2] Shortlisted for Austin Museum of Art's 22-To-Watch 2005 exhibition and the Arthouse Texas Prize in 2006, this American Christopher Fitzgerald painter’s work is steadily maturing.
