Criss Chaney
Criss Chaney is a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Berwick. Over the past decade, she has exhibited internationally across the United States, the UK, Austria, and Australia, and contributes to Melbourne’s creative landscape through both studio and public art.
Her practice is grounded in Urban Pop Art and neo-feminist art, blending expressive painterly techniques with graffiti, collage, and bold typography. Working across acrylic, oil, ink, spray paint, cyanotype, and gold leaf, she builds layered, tactile surfaces that mirror the complexity of competing identities.
Solitary female figures positioned within richly layered visual environments anchor her work. Her paintings invite viewers to slow down and engage with the space

between what is seen and what is felt—exploring the shifting boundary between external perception and internal experience.
Drawing from the grit of city walls, fluorescent pinks and purples reclaim softness as strength. Her work explores vulnerability, power, gender, and cultural value systems—holding space for contradiction, curiosity, and subversion.
