Chris Stain

(b. 1972)
Chris Stain is an American street artist known for large-scale stencils and prints depicting workers, rail yards, playgrounds, and city life. Rooted in graffiti and printmaking, his imagery carries the feel of documentary—quietly heroic figures, strong light and shadow, and a focus on dignity and resilience. His work bridges the street and the studio, with editions and originals prized by urban-art collectors.
