Balancing the controllable and uncontrollable, Chrissy Angliker’s paintings are translations of the artist’s perception of herself in the world. The artist has a hybrid background in painting and design, and her process involves reacting to the medium of paint by influencing rather than manipulating it. The ridges, crevices, and peaks created by Angliker’s brushstrokes place her paintings between two modalities—strikingly painterly and figurative yet definitively sculptural and impressionistic.

Chrissy Angliker was born in Zurich, Switzerland, and lives in Brooklyn, NY. The artist trained as a young student under the mentorship of Russian artist Juri Borodatchev and later received a degree in Industrial Design from Pratt Institute in New York City (2006). As a post-graduate, the artist worked in the design industry before returning to painting in 2008.

Angliker has an upcoming solo exhibition at Massey Klein in New York, NY (2024). Her work has been included in group shows across Europe and the United States.

Angliker’s work has been featured in several international print and online publications, including Forbes.com, The Know Culture, The Last Magazine, Bolero Magazine, and Hyperallergic.

In 2016, Neidhard & Schoen AG published an in-depth book, Chrissy Angliker PAINT/ING/S, examining Angliker’s process and resulting paintings with a focus on her work created between 2014 and 2016.

Angliker has been awarded the Rowena Reed Kostellow Award from Pratt Institute in New York, NY, and the International Takifuji Art Award in Tokyo, Japan. The artist has had site- and project-specific artworks commissioned by AOL America Online, Burton Snowboards, and Wired Magazine, among others.
