"NATIVE NUTCRACKER"
All of Chris Haberman’s artwork is created on found (post-consumer materials) objects, given or “found” on the streets and alleyways of Portland, Oregon, a discarded cabinet door or table top quickly becomes the backdrop for a integrated puzzle of human figures. The multitude of “folk art” images pushed together with words, objects and figures reflects the complexity of our modern life of people, politics, the region, pop culture, media, music, film and literature.
Mayor Sam Adams has said that “Chris is the hardest working artist in Portland.” As a working writer, painter, muralist, curator and musician, his work has been published in national and local magazines and shown in numerous Portland art venues, and then some. Indeed, his awards and accomplishments are too copious to mention here.
