Chris Arnold, a native of Dallas, Texas, has been immersed in the creative process since childhood. His artistic journey began at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (Arts Magnet), where he graduated in 1984. It was at Arts where he honed his skills and received his first major commission to paint a large-scale outdoor mural for the opening of the Dallas Arts District. Following high school, Arnold pursued further education at the Columbus College of Art and Design (CCAD) in Columbus, Ohio, graduating with a BFA in Illustration in 1988. After college, he transitioned into the theater world, working as a scenic artist in the film and television industry for five years. During this time, he served as a lead scenic artist in two of Dallas's largest scenic arts studios, where he gained valuable experience in producing monumental-scale artwork while working on backdrops for opera and ballet productions. This proved to be instrumental in shaping Arnold's career path, leading him to establish Eyecon Studios, a Dallas-based company specializing in mural art. In 1993, Arnold and his fellow CCAD graduate Jeff Garrison co-founded Eyecon Studios as a collaborative artistic team. Over the past three decades, they have created numerous award-winning works of art showcased across the country. Arnold's latest artistic venture marks a significant milestone in his career—a solo exhibition at Pencil on Paper Gallery. With his thirty-six years of experience spanning illustration, scenic arts, and mural painting, this marks his first solo show. Positioned at the nexus of his multifaceted artistic journey, Arnold's exhibition offers a retrospective lens through which viewers can appreciate the evolution of his distinctive style and creative vision.
