Chris
Galligan, a California native living in Los Angeles, began
painting at age 11. Chris left the United States at an
early age to travel and live in many cities throughout
Europe. He supported himself through Acting and Modeling,
while studying the history, art and culture of the people
who would become his new friends and neighbors. Galligan
returned to Southern California, where his love of surfing,
sports, beaches, desert and mountains serve both as artistic
inspiration and a source of renewal. Galligan is the proud
father of two sons, who continuously give him the motivation
to keep refining and reinventing his craft.
Galligan is comfortable painting in many styles, from
abstract to impressionist. The one constant through all
of his art is the freedom of expression that comes when
paint meets surface. His style can best be described as
an ever-changing collection of thoughts and images that
reflect the artist’s ideas and emotions. Galligan's
pet portraits are as unique as your pet, with his own
mix of whimsical realism, which he's coined 'whimism'
- his pet portraits are a breed apart.
