“My art is composed of a mix of popular culture icons, scenes, and characters that have shaped our culture in the past century or longer and abstracts that reflect how I envision my world,” Christie said.

About Joe Christie

Joe Christie is an Indianapolis-based lifelong artist whose artwork has been seen in shows around the city. Christie uses graphite and color pencils, and acrylic and oil paints to render iconic movie scenes—especially of the monster or horror genre—and emotive depictions of famous musicians.

“I paint from images that I enjoy,” Christie said. “I do it to make myself happy, and to connect with other fans of the genres that I paint from. Art is a method to express yourself and make the world happier by having your favorite images where you can look at them whenever you want. My art is constantly changing and evolving. As an artist, I like to push myself to learn new techniques and play with images that have impacted my life view.”
