Chris Succo

GermanGerman
, b. 1979

Chris Succo’s cool, gestural abstractions span a variety of mediums, from lacquered aluminum and oil on canvas to steel, mesh, and even boxing equipment sculptures. Despite the diversity in his materials and methods, Succo's work is unified by recurring conceptual and aesthetic themes. Through repeated exploration across different canvases, he seeks unique expressions while weaving a broader narrative from one piece to the next. Succo is particularly drawn to the constraints of minimalist, black-and-white palettes. In his “White Paintings” series, for example, he partially obscures vibrant backgrounds with gestural layers of white oil paint, creating a dynamic interplay between color and concealment. In contrast, his “ZigZag Paintings” evoke the fluidity of calligraphy. Succo’s work has been exhibited internationally in cities such as New York, London, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Berlin, and Paris, and his pieces are part of esteemed collections, including the Museum Kunstpalast and the Sammlung der Stadt Neuss.
