Chris Sauter

A working artist since 1995, Chris Sauter holds a BA from the University of the Incarnate Word and an MFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio. His work explores the links between biology and culture, the present and the past, the personal and the universal. In the process, popular dichotomies are recognized and then collapsed into multifaceted wholes. His principal strategies are, the transformation of common objects into other recognizable objects, extreme scale shifts, and the juxtaposition of disparate materials and images. The work draws from varied sources such as architecture, history, science, agriculture and rodeo.
