{"title":"Christopher Strunk","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eStarting as a young man with a “knack for drawing”, Christopher Strunk’s natural talents were enhanced with an innate curiosity. He is a life-long student of art history with an obsession for all the interesting objects of beauty that our culture has provided. He has a special love for 19th and 20th Century landscape painting and modernism. After achieving his BFA from Western Michigan University, Chris dabbled in studies of art criticism before fully committing to his true identity as a professional artist. Initially showing work through juried shows, art hops and public spaces, Chris achieved gallery representation in his late 30s and is now a celebrated artist at galleries in New York, Ohio and North Carolina – and now with the addition of Somebody’s Gallery in Petoskey – three independent locations in Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOn art as a discipline, Chris states, “Art practice has the same spiritual pursuit one seeks on a hike in a beautiful place. As the hiker can snatch a glimpse of the transcendent, so can the painter in his or her work. If we are attentive enough to this discipline, it can have infinite reflections.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOn Michigan landscapes as a favorite subject, Chris shares, “In Michigan, it’s as if each day has its own temperament. The elements come together in unique combinations, which modify the landscape as much as the change of season. Even a place you know well can be something to rediscover simply because of a mist in the air, a drop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003ein temperature, or a swirling wind. Over it all, the path of the sun across the sky casts shadows that stretch, contract, and stretch again. I never seem to tire of capturing a place in its moment; like a state of mind that flexes with the circumstances. Sometimes fleeting, always beautiful, Michigan is my favorite muse.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eChristopher Strunk lives in Holland, MI with his wife, Linda, cherished cats, Sweet Pea and
