TCU Alumnus Featured for ‘Like Apple Pie’ Exhibition
Chris Wicker ’21 MFA is featured in Glasstire for his upcoming solo exhibition, Like Apple Pie. The exhibition uses soft sculpture, video and collage to explore American identity, consumer culture and the influence of Southern traditions.
Through recognizable symbols of Americana, including denim, camouflage, hot dogs and
baseball, the School of Art alumnus examines how everyday objects and cultural imagery shape perceptions of what
it means to be American. His work combines physical and digital techniques, bringing
together familiar materials in unexpected ways to explore themes of identity, religion
and consumerism.
Wicker has exhibited his work internationally, including in Hiroshima, Moscow and the Netherlands. Now based in Houston, he continues his artistic practice while serving as exhibitions manager for FotoFest.
Like Apple Pie opens with a reception from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, at the BOX 13 Art Space in Houston at the BOX 13 Art Space in Houston.
