Zurich-born, New York based KDU artist Chrissy Angliker creates acrylic portraits using both her brush and by letting gravity manipulate the paint itself. The drip paintings have all very clear and recognizable features and do not get muddy, but create an interesting effect that she creates again and again in her works. While all of her paintings use the same technique, she changes it up by varying the amount of color she uses, the position of the heads, and how naturalistic or caricaturistic the features are. In some, the dripping affect creates a somber, serious affect, while in others, it gives a comical air around the work. Angliker graduated from Pratt in 2006 where she studied Industrial Design.
