Hot Shots Chad Muthard

Artist Statement

The work I construct is an attempt to resolve issues or conflicts in the mind. Most of the work is derived from events or moments in life, that I struggle to understand the affect of and/or outcome of the situation. These ideas are then taken and projected into narrative form in images, which tend to become elaborately fictional versions of the event. There is definitely a play between both reality and fiction in the pieces yet, I feel as though the work is still very much about documentation in how each body of work and/or series encapsulates a period of time.
