From Street Culture to Global Artist: Chris Dyer’s Remarkable Path
Chris Dyer grew up in Lima, Peru until age 17, where he was involved in 80’s skateboarding, 90’s surfing, and street gang destructive activities. He eventually moved to Canada to study art for 8 years in different colleges. He ended up living in the beautiful French city of Montreal for a couple of decades, but recently relocated to Saint Petersburg, Florida!
The artist’s journey began in the skateboard culture of the 1980s, drawing his board graphics as early as 1986. This passion for skateboard art would become a foundation for his career, eventually leading him to work with major brands in the skateboarding industry. His professional journey includes serving as Art Director for California’s “Creation Skateboards” and creating graphics for prominent brands like Deathwish, Darkstar, and Santa Cruz Skateboards.

Artistic Influences and Style Evolution
Chris’ exploration of inner worlds and ability to juggle mediums, styles and themes has made him stand out in the different art movements he is part of. Because of his unique street style of psychedelic art, and high productivity, Chris has become one of the leading figures of the North American Visionary Art scene.
