Chris Bors's art is based on appropriation,
autobiographical references and obsessive personality traits.
He uses a variety of media, including painting, photography, video and
performance.
His source material varies from pop culture, imagery found on websites,
and cartoons, to hardcore punk and metal music, such as the bands Murphy's
Law and Slayer. He describes the practice of taking images 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.
