Artist Chad Depner on fire.

Chad Depner

Chad Depner is a multidisciplinary artist with a day job as a graphic designer. Drawing, painting, sculpting, jewelry making, printmaking, spray-painting, airbrushing, metalsmithing, etc. Anything from using crayons to heavy machinery to make art. It all just oozes (or explodes) from him. With a fine arts degree from red deer college, he has just completed construction of his art studio in Squamish. This will be his third appearance at the art throw down and he is looking to entertain. With no one else on the stage he will be free to bring out some of his crazier, untested and unique techniques. Using a gigantic four by eight canvas he will use all his resources to fully test the fertile ground of his imagination and that of the audience. Expect things to get crazy!

NO CONTEST. NO RULES. JUST ART – AMPLIFIED.
