Over the last ten years, Moss's practice has centered around facial avatars and how they reduce individuals to generic representations of eyes and mouths. His face-based works appear similar, yet the nuances and variations of each painting demonstrate infinite variability. They are not anonymous avatars but individuals rendered as such.

The works in Group Chat– the “heads” – have presence, volume, and depth. Like sentient beings, Moss’s heads react to changes in the environment. Here, Moss uses both photochromic and thermochromic pigments. Photochromic paint charges with color in sunlight – like transition lenses – while thermochromic pigments become more colorful below 77°F.

We see a representation of a not-human, but look closer – therein lies the fear, hope, anxiety, and joy we might experience from moment to moment. The “head” presents a candy-colored tabula rasa. They are silly and cute, yet redolent of potential and meaning. They are holy fools.

Christopher Moss (b. 1977, Wilkes-Barre, PA) received a BFA in 2000 from Marywood University, Scranton, PA, and an MFA in 2006 from CUNY Brooklyn College. Since 2011, his work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Theodore (New York, NY). He has exhibited at Shaheen Contemporary (Cleveland, OH), Grizzly Grizzly (Philadelphia, PA), Field Projects (New York), LABspace (Hillsdale, NY), SEASON (Seattle, WA), and Sulfur Studios (Savannah, GA). Most recently, he was in a two-artist exhibition with Sue Fox at The Lyndon House Art Center (Athens, GA) and a three-person exhibition in the Sechrest Gallery at Highpoint University with Kelly Boehmer and Susan Klein (Highpoint, NC). He lives and works in Savannah, GA.
