The WeActivist Series for Winter 2010 by Chad Robertson:
My paintings strive to represent a visual piece of music. The images become the words of a lyric or the sentence. It sets the scenario for the viewer to put together a story, but it’s important that it is their story. The physical layering of the painting also suggests a conceptual narrative. I never wanted to set out and paint a static image; I didn’t want to freeze a moment. The whole world is constantly moving in one way or another. And we, as human beings, as conscious thinkers, are always changing and growing inside as well. Society is changing, moving along in time and space — history evolving. As a starting point, I have always wanted to paint the depiction of movement and multiple events, and not just the physical but a representation of the psychological as well.
