Christopher Dunlap was born in Pullman, Washington. His work creates a multiplicity of relationships between simple shapes and complex structures. Through specific placement and repetition, he creates images that unfold over time, drawing the viewer to a heightened awareness of their own visual processes. Dunlap received a BFA from University of Washington in Seattle, Washington and an MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston, Massachusetts.
Solo exhibitions of Dunlap’s work have taken place at: Marvin Gardens in Ridgewood, New York (2023), Sardine Gallery in Brooklyn, New York (2020 and 2017); and Hiromart Gallery in Tokyo, Japan (2019).
