I met Chris Kurber some 20 years ago in line at an estate sale, or at an antique store flea market, or an auction. Eventually, I would see him at all such events. We had a shared history of picking. I lived with Chris for 6 months. During that time I got a better idea of my friend Chris as an artist. This is when I met his drawings. They intersect awkward, sometimes sexual, succinct geometric figures and shapes, with a divine sense of humor. His natural sense of design is shown in his drawing’s minimal and balanced pattern language.
