He works serially, using autobiography as a jumping-off point for satire, humiliation, and explorations of the grotesque. His work tackles a variety of topics, including religious and cultish indoctrination, the effect of technology on societal discourse, how to navigate adulthood as a male with no strong role models, and stereotypical notions of masculinity that find their way into every subject he explores. Using his personal experiences as a foundation, his paintings have questioned archetypes found within these themes, all the while challenging his own values and beliefs. He positions himself as an anti-proselytizer, complicating the easy answer and presenting morally questionable individuals with the intent of causing contradictory interpretations by the viewer. Navigating this discomfort is vital when searching for a greater truth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-\">Chris is a recent graduate of RISD\u2019s MFA Painting program. He is represented by Kravets Wehby Gallery. He has shown his work internationally. His work is a part of multiple private collections internationally. His work is in the Pizzuti Collection of the Columbus Museum of Art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gmail-\">He is represented by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kravetswehbygallery.com\/chris-regner\">Kravets Wehby Gallery.<\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12444\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12444\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12444 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=640%2C825&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=794%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 794w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1 233w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=768%2C990&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=1192%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1192w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=1589%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1589w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=696%2C897&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=1068%2C1377&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?resize=326%2C420&amp;ssl=1 326w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?w=1800&amp;ssl=1 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Give-a-Boy-a-Worm....jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12444\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Give a Boy a Worm&#8230;, 2021, 45&#8243;x35&#8243;, Acrylic on canvas over panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12445\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12445\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12445 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL.jpg?resize=640%2C832&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=788%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 788w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=231%2C300&amp;ssl=1 231w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C997&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=1183%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1183w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=1577%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1577w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C904&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C1387&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?resize=323%2C420&amp;ssl=1 323w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?w=1971&amp;ssl=1 1971w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Thats-My-Boy-No.-5-ORIGINAL-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12445\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">That&#8217;s My Boy No. 5 (Father Devouring Son Devouring Son), 2020, 45&#8243;x35&#8243;, Acrylic on canvas over panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interview\/ChrisRegner.mp3Subscribe: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | TuneIn | RSS | Click here to join mailing listChris Regner is an artist born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
