“… belief is an aesthetic category. Tuesday’s beliefs differ from Friday’s. And on Sunday I’m agnostic." – Christian Cummings

Christian Cummings' art has been described as charmingly casual, quixotic and painstakingly impulsive. … Christian uses "uninspiration" as his muse, making artworks that are both deftly enigmatic and playful.

"Alternating between elegiac despondency, apocalyptic vision, didactic discourse, and guided deprogramming exercise … Cummings convincingly positions himself as a nerdish prophet of doom. Christian Cummings is facing our crazy life head on, in all its bewildering entropy and Gordian knottiness …” -Doug Harvey, Artillery Art Magazine

“Lest we've forgotten, Cummings is reminding us what Uncle Frank (Zappa) told us back in 66. Plastic people in a plastic society living on a diet of plastic. And as we know, when they burn and melt they all start to stink.” -Sexton Ming
