Chris Hood is a multi-media artist whose work addresses a space in which place is increasingly obsolete. Accelerated technology creates a media that renders distance irrelevant: everything that is far is equally near. Hood investigates the relationships between things and people, and the often misleading coding that emerges to account for the world we live in. Through the lens of art history (the modernist grid, early conceptualism, abstract expressionist painting), he creates work that challenges the boundaries between an established past and a fast-developing future. He is currently an MFA candidate at the San Francisco Art Institute. He received his BFA from Georgia State University in 2008, and studied at Deree College in Athens, Greece and Santa Reparata International School of Art in Florence, Italy. He has exhibited internationally, most recently at the Federal Art Project, Los Angeles, in Children of the Revolution, curated by Keith Boadwee. He has also shown at Blankspace Gallery in Oakland, the Diego Rivera Gallery in San Francisco, and MoCa GA, among others. Hood lives and works in San Francisco.
