Kris Kuksi was born March 2nd 1973 ,He grew up in neighboring Kansas, son to a blue-collar working mother and absent father. In his youth open country, sparse trees, and later, alcoholic stepfathers surrounded him. His fascination with dead animals foreshadowed his later macabre drawings and painting. The grotesque as it seemed, was beauty. His art best fits into 'Fantastic Realism', yet the overall body of works have no specific category as seen in his broad range of ideas. He feels that using many directions and styles in art are necessary to express his voice and he feels that to succumb to just one style is without growth or diversity. A quiet and gentle man, Kris Kuksi continues his ideas of beauty and the strange in art while living a lifestyle suited to a nocturnal and oftentimes impulsive individual.
