Christopher Easton (born September 20, 1959 in Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American artist, designer, writer, and director best known for his creation of mosaics, acrylics, and pastels. His latest works include conceptual self-portraits in drag reminiscent of the works of Cindy Sherman. Easton currently lives and works in Los Angeles. In addition to creating fine art, he teaches workshops in mosaic and pastel technique. In 2006, he wrote and directed the performance art piece “The Staggering Libido Sisters Sing Songs of Love… and Revenge” which is rescheduled for production in 2009. ==Early years== Easton was born on January 19, 1959 in Lakehurst, New Jersey, USA. Shortly after his birth his family moved to Dayton, Ohio. Although Easton became interested in the visual arts as early as elementary school, his interest in theatre arts led him to Wright State University and Arizona State University where he studied acting and stage design. Upon graduating he relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he worked in the television and movie industries and in interior design. Easton continued his education by attending classes and workshops in art and art history at Santa Monica College, Cal State Northridge, Otis-Parsons, and Art Center in Pasadena, where he focused on his drafting skills and use of color. In 1994, he wrote the screenplay for the movie ''Dressed to Thrill'', which was developed by Fineline Features. Overwhelmed by the “rampant egos” and what he coined the “plastic flash-and-cash” of Hollywood culture, Easton left that business in order to focus fully on visual and conceptual art. But the entertainment industry and celebrity culture became the major subject matter of his ensuing works. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christopher Easton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
