Christopher Stout is a multi-disciplinary artist, celebrated for his own unique process of working with "industrial papier-mâché," comprised of cement and shredded documents on linen on board.

Christopher lives with in the far West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, and maintains his studio practice in Bushwick, Brooklyn's vibrant art community. Christopher's art philosophy revolves around an intellectual discourse focused on the exploration of texture and spatial relationships. He is 41 years in age and has maintained a practice in the visual arts spanning almost 2 decades.

Christopher Stout has participated in 57 gallery, studio, and museum performance/exhibitions, with 9 solos and 10 completed bodies of work, including "Portraits of Narcissism," "Sacred Impiety," "Ecdysis," "Unbridled!," "Coma State (The Long Unpleasant Dream…)," "Vigil," "New Work," "Precious Things," and "Linear Anagram."  Christopher is currently in development on a new project roughly titled "Power Symbols (Red Black White Gold Gray…)." In addition, Christopher holds collectors and work in 23 of the continental 48 states.

Christopher relocated to the West Village from "the long winding road" of San Francisco in spring of 2007. Previously, Christopher was a provocative and prominent member of San Francisco's art community. In addition to his painting, photography , and performance-based practice, Christopher was also the Visual Program Director at Blue Room Gallery, one the city's largest not-for-profit contemporary art spaces. In addition, Christopher was also a founding member and lead staff writer for San Francisco Art Magazine, where he published editorial/review pieces documenting San Francisco's emerging "New Mission" art scene. His op-ed on the proper artistic response to 9/11 has been republished academically. 

Christopher Stout continues to serve and help develop emerging artists via avid volunteer work in Chelsea's gallery district. Christopher also schedules lecture-based studio visits with contemporary art classes so that current New York art students can engage and dialogue with his work.

Christopher's modus operandi is, "solidarity for arts, and solidarity with New York artists."
