Featured Artists: Chad Spicknall of Cannon Beach

Oil on Canvas

When asked about his work, Chad often says, “I paint inner beauty…or whatever strikes my fancy. It’s usually the same thing.”

It is an openness toward the world that allows Chad’s works to come to life. Whether it be urban café’s, portraits or seascapes, each work has a life of it’s own. It’s what Chad refers to as the “Soul” of the work.

Each painting is a collaboration, between the artist and his medium, usually oil on canvas. “The canvas speaks to me…much the way Michelangelo could see and feel the figures within the stone from which he would carve.” Chad tries to connect with the soul of the canvas to discover the life within.

Many of Chad’s paintings have several previous works under them. “If I’m painting a portrait, and I discover that the canvas is really a seascape…I have to paint over the portrait. Sometimes I can have the work finished before I realize that I was wrong. At times I paint over very nice works. If it’s not right I have to change it. The soul can not be ignored.”

A very private person, Chad rarely makes personal appearances. “The art should speak for me, and for itself. I wont always be around to explain myself. Hopefully I shouldn’t have to. Take your time with my work. With any work. Open yourself to it. Talk to it. Listen to it. From up close and from far away.”

“Art is about relationships. Like falling in love. There is neither rhyme nor reason to it, it just happens. When it does, hold on to it. It’s a great journey. The greatest!”

Chad currently lives and works on the coast of Oregon, with his wife and son. His works are in public and private collections worldwide.
