Artist: Christopher R. Rivera | Location: Tallahassee, FL
Tallahassee, FL
Rivera is a contemporary painter residing and working in Tallahassee, Florida. His artistic practice investigates the media’s narrative influence on personal engagement. Rivera relates his own experience to examine how narrative is packaged and represented within popular culture and news media industries. The work references found images and video stills, reproducing this collective dynamic to examine how mass-produced images are made to feel personal. The iconography comes from sources such as social media logos, entertainment and food advertisements, historical popular culture ephemera, and other Americana and internet media.
Rivera received his BFA with a focus in painting from the University of Central Florida (2017) and is currently a Spring 2021 Masters of Fine Art candidate at Florida State University.
