Artist

Christopher Thompkins

Christopher Thompkins didn't arrive at art in a straight line, and that is exactly what gives his work its pull. A digital fine artist, songwriter and creative entrepreneur based in Long Beach, California, he works in abstraction: oversized figures, avant-garde and cubist forms, and color that tells the story.

His giclée and mixed-media works explore transformation, emotional memory and the beauty found in unexpected places. Shaped by a life of reinvention, including law school at 50 and a powerful personal recovery from a car accident, his art carries the weight of lived experience without ever losing its sense of wonder.

He works as an originator, not a copyist, a value he learned from his father. Every piece begins as his own story.

Each piece is an invitation to pause, to feel, and to see yourself and the world differently.
