Eutawville, SC
Chris Bilton has been described as a Modern Neo-Renaissance artist. In his words, he is inspired by “the artists of the High Renaissance, and the way their disciplines seem to intertwine and crossover, creating a deeper aesthetic and a more profound truth.” At the same time, he infuses traditional art techniques with his modern sensibilities to create art that clearly conveys the influence of twentieth century modern art and of contemporary thinking. In the Renaissance spirit, his creative work spans many media. He paints, draws, sculpts, designs and builds custom woodwork, including musical instruments such as electric guitars, drums, and upright basses. He plays and composes music and makes entertaining art animations, which can be viewed on the BiltonAnimation YouTube channel. He does all these things and more, running Bilton Arts Studio in Eutawville, SC with his wife, Carmen. Chris earned his M.F.A. at the NY Academy of Art.
