Chris Lashbrook
Up and Away, Out of the Dark, 2021 Chris Lashbrook
Taught to value black and white film, Chris Lashbrook has a passion for contrast and intense tones of gray. A self taught artist, he has embraced the power of this combination in the digital world and has also developed a love for the subtleness and richness of contrast in colour.
Through his art, Chris calls forth El Duende – the Spirit of Evocation, often associated with the power of flamenco - to elicit a strong emotional response – laughter, tears, reflection, deep thought, curiosity, passion, tension and release. Blending a mixture of photographic genres, his work is frequently referred to as “Neo-Abstract Poetry with Light and Shadow”.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Chris brings his love of the outdoors, be it in the broad textures of the back woods or the geometric rigidity of the structural city, to his art. His goal is to walk where people walk and see the things they miss.
