[edit] Style

Travis Christopher uses vibrant Primary colors in the focus of his work in order to create a world that is more intense and less restrictive than the natural world. His figures are often fluid and loose in order to develop a feeling of freedom. He uses iconic images, often with blank faces, to foster empathy between the subject and the viewer.
