Chris Glabb
(b. 2000) is an emerging Métis & Indigenous artist. He aims to make
accessible the themes of Fine Art through lowbrow referentiality, irony, a dry sense of humour,
and the explicit appropriation of existing images. Their work relates to issues of hierarchy,
intersectional Queerness, and Indigenousness. With a Post-Pop Art sensibility, Chris aims to
redefine relationships between moments in culture through image manipulation, AI-Generation,
and printmaking. The inspiration behind many of his works include video games, fashion, and
non-objective painting.
