ARTIST

Chris Ordinario

Chris Ordinario (Cologne, 1990) is a german- filipino artist based in Cologne and Berlin. He started doing Graffiti in early age and began to develop his interest for architecture and shapes. Today, he devotes himself to two- and three-dimensional shapes. These are inspired by natural forms that he repeatedly encounters in his own cultural exploration. He tries to understand his cultural roots without knowing much about them. In this way, the carabaohorn becomes a leitmotif and goat heads become architectural building blocks. He graduated in 2022 as a Meisterschüler of the architecture class of the Düsseldorf Art Academy and was awarded with the promotional prize. Inspired by the postmodern architecture movement of the 1960s (e.g. John Heyduk, Gordon Matta-Clark, Lebbeus Woods), he enjoys to create abstract architecture in a playful way.
