cHris mcLaughliN born Cleveland, OH 1972 lives and works in Charleston, SC BFA Painting, The Cleveland Institute of Art, 1998 MFA Painting, Claremont Graduate University, 2000 My work comprises several types of pictorialism. An on-going series of mine contains smaller scale works with images I have put together that are derivative of the Pop movement and advertising tactics. My visual decision-making emanates from product design, punnery, formal pairings and splashes of romance.
