Chad Whitaker is an artist who creates surreal, nonrepresentational sculptures and installations consisting of found objects and materials such as wood, plastic, fabric and video projections. He manipulates the finals forms with color and pattern. His art is created from bedsheets to represent dreams, sleep and the life cycle that occurs in the bed. The series titled “Containments” explores the idea of sealing and protecting a memory, to attempt to freeze it in time.

Chad also creates photographs that explore and challenge the limits of time and place through long-exposure, double exposure, and glass plate printmaking.

 Chad attended Kutztown University and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art. Chad then returned to academia to complete a Master of Fine Arts degree in Studio Art at Indiana University of Pennsylvania after an exchange program at the University of Zagreb in Croatia, where he studied sculpture and video. Chad’s work has been shown internationally. He is currently working and creating artwork in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
