Chris Bors's art practice is based on appropriation, autobiographical references and obsessive personality traits.

He employs a variety of media, including painting, photography, and video.

His source material varies from pop and trash culture, his own drawings, and collected ephemera, to hardcore punk and metal music, such as the bands Murphy's Law and Slayer. He describes the practice of taking images and videos from the web as virtual dumpster diving.

A dysfunctional and schizophrenic identity remains throughout his work, which can be traced to a steady childhood diet of television, video games and the hyperbolic acting of professional wrestling.
