Christopher Sacco

I was born in the southeastern part of the United States. I was born to a trailer park. I experienced great hardships, as everyone experiences hardships (to some degree), in my youth. From homelessness to abuse & eventually self-harm. I spent most of my youth resolving these issues and becoming at peace with myself. I studied at the San Francisco Art Institute while learning to adjust to being alive & before that I went to the Alabama School of Fine Arts--where I learned all of the elements & principles as well as conceptual notions and new genres. Estranged at 25, I moved back to Birmingham, AL from Denver, CO after an attempt at painting murals there (mostly because my mother needed my help at home).

Once again able to craft large scale works free of restraints I began to show my works. The Mobile Museum of Art took note of my works, calling them "compelling" they began to represent me in 2018.

I'm a Contemporary Neo-Southern Gothic Fine Artist. My works relate to memory and other cognitive functions such as thought process. I consider my work to be narrative, while also abstract & conceptual. I have an affinity for great literature & have been reviewed as having a "poetic" nature to my body of work.
