Chris Cosnowski

DESCRIPTION

Chris Cosnowski is a Chicago-based artist and educator who received his MFA from Northwestern University. He specializes in hyper-realistic oil paintings of mass-produced objects, particularly trophies and plastic toys, placed within minimalist, monochrome environments. His work combines a classical painting style with Pop Art sensibilities to critique contemporary American culture, addressing themes such as hierarchy, capitalism, and toxic masculinity through the lens of banal yet iconic objects.
