Chris Barbour is from a small town in southern Virginia. Growing up in a small town he spent most of his time daydreaming the escape, expecting life outside to be more. He felt so few freedoms when he grow up with so many eyes on him. Upon leaving, he often craved the simplicity and innocence he experienced while living there.
Attending Virginia Tech, he decided to study film, theater and English, expanding his worldview and whetting his appetite for the arts. Drawn to the film business, he worked on many high profile projects while living in Baltimore and eventually, made his way west to Los Angeles. In 2002, after too much business and not enough art, his reality shifted. The art and photography worlds had taken over his creative life. He left the film business, realizing my world was more suited for one frame at a time.
Chris is self-taught. He watched and felt images all his life. He is of the “TV baby” generation, and though he played in the creeks and woods as a child, his vision is born from the confluence of these childhood memories with the architecture, art, cinema, design and music that he surrounded himself with as an adult. Some days he misses that small town, the simplicity, and he still struggles with where he belongs. His work is about that search.
