I am Chris Lopez (Cristobal Sanchez-Lopez), a classically trained, multimedia artist from Barcelona, Spain. I have been living in South Florida for the past 25 years and run my art, clothing, and design company Chris Lopez Studio from my Fort Lauderdale based home studio.
I am also a teacher, a husband, and daydreamer. And, believe art is food for the soul.
My art spans 40 years of creating paintings, drawings, photography and illustrations. In that time I have created and amassed an indelible collection of original drawings. My pencil and charcoal drawings have appeared in top galleries across the US and have graced the covers of magazine and print articles. I also have had the honor of having my drawings included in international art books and publications celebrating the male form.
Most artist are humble slaves to their craft, we do it because it feeds us. It’s how we survive. It has taken me a very long time to embrace who I am as an artist. And, there has been no better time in my vast career to celebrate my body of work than now. "DRAWINGS" is the first in a series of coffee table art books that will act as a retrospective of my work, showcasing a variety of “artistic languages” and mixed medias I have explored.
"DRAWINGS" is a limited edition of 250 copies, 10x10 hard cover coffee table book with 104 pages of high quality uncensored nude reproductions of bears, daddies, and alpha males created with charcoal, graphite and mixed media on surfaces such as: wood, black paper, gesso textured panels and marble. This collection of drawing spans from 2008 to 2020, which I believe has been my most prolific period as a matured artist.
My desire with "DRAWINGS" is to share my retrospective with art enthusiast and lovers of the natural, male form. This is a dream project come true. Your support makes it a reality.
Come celebrate male beauty with me.
