Artist Statement
Photography by David Moog / Courtesy Burchfield Penney
Christopher C. Galley a visual artist based out of Buffalo, New York. The working class, blue-collar attitude of Buffalo has had a heavy influence on his work. It is an attitude that drives him to follow his artistic goals and dreams. It is an attitude that that motivated him to find his own niche in a rich and vibrant artistic community. Buffalo has also provided him with an “underdog” will and sense of perseverance. Although his work pulls from a number of sub-cultures in terms of imagery and technique, he strives to get his message out to a broader audience.
The majority of Christopher’s work deals with the influences that surrounded him growing up. He is a product of the 1970’s and 80’s. Growing up, he ingested a steady diet of visual imagery gleaned from Saturday television. The likes Evel Knievel and Steve McQueen awed him with their perceived lack of concern regarding their personal safety and their silver screen idol cool. Saturday nights lead him to develop a fascination with the world of horror movies. When he was growing up, his family moved to a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He had an old cemetery on a hill behind his house. That cemetery always felt rather familiar, like he had seen it before. It turned out it was where they filmed the 1968 classic “Night of the Living Dead”. Even though that film had been made before he was born, he must have seen it ten times by the time his family moved to Evans City. The idea of something old and forgotten coming back to change the world definitely had an effect on him. The idea that the familiar could turn terrifying or that the known could become unrecognizable made him change the way he looked at the world. He’s always had this connection to the macabre and the horrifying. I think that’s why he became a public school teacher…
As Christopher’s work has evolved he has also incorporated his interest in divergent media. His attention to detail is overwhelmed by the dizzying array of possibilities available to artists today. He is fascinated by the limitless editing possibilities available in his computer, but he can’t bring himself to eliminate the hand made component to his art. He has to hand render an image, otherwise he feels like he has cheated himself. Christopher reconciled these feelings by combining both the traditional and the modern approaches. Presently this combination involves digital design, hand rendering, painting and a variety street art techniques. It is an ever-evolving process. He always tries to find something new to challenge himself with, something that can capture his interest and imagination while maintaining a balance with his processes.
