Chris Dyer (born March 3, 1979) is a Peruvian–Canadian artist based in Montreal, who exhibits, performs and teaches his art worldwide. Some of his broader artistic themes include consciousness, truth, oneness, introspection, personal development and kindness.[1] He paints using acrylic, pencil, pen, spray paint, gouache and other media on a variety of different forms, including broken or blank skateboards in his early years, various sculptured and recycled items, and now commonly fabric or wood canvas. He is also known for his murals, logos, album covers, posters, illustrations, comic books, travel diaries (The Sunlight Chronicles),[2] and YouTube adventure vlogs (Artventures).[3] He was the art director and brand manager of Creation Skateboards/Satori Movement[4] for three and a half years, creating designs for hundreds of skateboard decks. He teaches many art workshops and classes on technique, spray painting, traditional medicinal healing,[5] and the business of art, as well as offering an online class.[6] He has created his own brand of conscious clothing and other goods, Positive Creations, which features some of his most well-loved art.[7] Though his styles, mediums and subject matters are always in flow, the main theme seen through his artwork is cultural and spiritual oneness of humanity and beyond.
