Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Dyer.
Hi Chris, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
Chris Dyer is a Peruvian Canadian visual artist now based in Saint Petersburg, Florida. A skateboarder since the mid 80’s his fine art career started with paintings on broken skates, which eventually led him to doing over 100 different commercial graphics for some of the
biggest brands in that industry.
Chris’ funky expressions have always been important in his process of spiritual self-realization. These unique images has led him to be one of the most recognized artists of the Visionary Art movement. His canvas paintings have been exhibited at museums and galleries all over the
planet.
Around 20 years ago Chris started to dive deeper into the medium of spray paint and by now has huge murals in magical places around the planet like the Bob Marley Museum in Jamaica, the Beatles Ashram in India, Balata refugee camp in Palestine, a Havana DIY skate park in Cuba and
Street Art Museums in Amsterdam, Peru and Russia.
Since 2004 Chris has been running a popular clothing brand called “Positive Creations” that has
spread his soulful expressions as products worn by his many fans.
He also succeeded to sell out an NFT collection of 5555 units, creating a popular Web 3
community called the “Galaktic Gang” that still runs strong today!
In efforts to empower younger artists, Chris has taught art workshops all around the globe,
including shamanic medicine retreats in the jungle of Peru, India and Thailand.
His art has been included in several magazines including Thrasher, High Times and Juxtapoz, as
well as been published in many books, a few of his own.
Other than this, he also enjoys creating video offerings like his Travel show and Podcast series
on Youtube.
Regardless of the medium or platform, Chris’ intentions is to serve as a spiritual channel of love and good vibes, hopefully serving medicine to humanity through his work. He is here as a
servant of the Most High, which lives in every human.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
All roads have bumps and hurdles and even sing holes. In general I am very grateful for all the things Ive been able to do in my career.
I think the hardest thing about being a well known artist is the pressure I feel to be perfect, when that is nearly impossible.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I am an artist. I am known for different things by different people. Psychedelic Visionary Art Canvases
Spray paint murals worldwide
Very unique Skateboard graphics
My clothing brand Positive Creations
My Podcast is finally catching some momentum as well.
Ive done many things in my career I am proud of. Painting at the Bob Marley Mausoleum in Jamaica. Painted the Beatles Ashram in India. Painted Balata Refugee Center in Palestine. Published 2 coffee table books of my art. Managed a decent California Skate company. Brought the medicine to many new people. Created a beautiful community like teh Galaktic Gang.
What set me apart from others is my personal style. Its unique and distinct. I also believe I have a Good and Honest Heart.
Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?
Though I am part of different scenes and industries, I am going to answer it about the North American “Visionary Art Movement” I am part of since it was a tiny scene. I believe that as the Earth’s People’s Consciousness awakens more and more, Art that reflects the spirituality of where we are going is going to become way more popular! Though we are still in a hard period of transition, the momentum is growing on the need for positive uplifting art to bring up the frequency of all who can see!
