Chris Hood does not sit in front of a canvas and start painting. He begins from the back. The Los Angeles artist uses a raw canvas and builds layers of paint, creating an amalgamation of images using marks, icons and graphics that soak through from back to front. The result is a graphic quality that appears similar to that of a T-shirt turned inside out. Hood is Teton Artlabâs artist-in-residence through May 21. He will discuss his process in a live Zoom talk at 6 p.m. May 19 at Teton ArtLab. Hood grew up in Atlanta and was always drawing and interested in art. But it wasnât until he was 18 and he visited a contemporary art fair in Italy that he realized art could be a career. He went on to get a masterâs degree in fine art from the San Francisco Art Institute and is now based in Los Angeles.
