Chad Rea

Often paradoxical in nature, my works draw on pop, street, folk, and punk aesthetics to transmute the trauma and pain of our world into expressions of joy, connection, and hope. Inspired by my own healing, my wish is that my art will move others to seek out their own imperfect truths, finding all that advertising tries to sell, already present within themselves.
