Kristopher Wright (b.1991, Denver, CO) is an American artist known for his colorful, larger-than-life paintings that explore moments of celebration, togetherness, joy, and loss within American life.

The convergence of painting, screen printing, and collage techniques in Kristopher’s work sparks transformative investigations of storytelling, familial bonds, and the nature of living memory. His large-scale paintings initially draw inspiration from Kristopher’s own life and experiences. However, the artist also incorporates elements of found photography, machine diagrams, maintenance manuals, and anatomical studies, inviting viewers to make new, meaningful connections to these works.

Kristopher graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied painting, printmaking, and Art Education in 2014. Now based in Colorado’s San Luis Valley, he lives on an 85-acre ranch with his wife and family, dedicated to sustainable farming and creative practices

Kristopher’s work has been shown in various exhibitions throughout the country, most notably, his debut solo exhibition‘Just As I Am’ at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in 2022, as well as group showings at SAIC’s Sullivan Galleries, Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry and K Contemporary in Denver. Wright is currently represented by K Contemporary and will have his inaugural solo exhibition with the Gallery in Fall 2024.
