I am a huge contemporary art fan so when I saw Chad Wys 'Nocturne' Series I was really impressed and fascinated at his work. Taking portraits from the Renaissance era he uses a process he refers to as deconstruction to "understand how culture interacts with visuality that permeates there". "The literal destruction of an object is secondary to the overall effect created by color (dis)harmony and the overall aesthetic of the reclaimed and reinvented object/experience. I openly play with the allure of foreign and aggressive new colors and forms into otherwise familiar and traditional settings. Barriers and obstacles are thereby created between the viewer and the object through which one must negotiate an understanding of what is both present and hidden," said Wys.
