Cedric Chambers
About
Art is about creating a memorable experience. The medium the form, the aesthetic, are all secondary. What matters is the viewer, and their relationship to the work. When you view my work I hope it remains memorable in your mind.
Born into American 1990’s society with no real material problems, Cedric Chambers was given his name so he would not have to pick a pseudonym; it was intended that he become a playwright. The exposure to great writers as a child helped him gain a hatred for fiction, and gain a love for East European philosophers and painters. Cedric developed a surrealist style, his primary medium being oil paints, though he often works in mixed media.
As Cedric aged, he noted that the purpose of education was to learn, to be disciplined. Past the introductory courses, there was nothing more he could learn. Cedric attended Universities, but dropped out half-way through his BFA for painting. He decided that art should be for the everyday person; no one should need a degree to understand it.
Upon entering the physical art world, as a symbol of renewal, Cedric handed out his entire body of work for free. The sketches and paintings of his past no longer holding his stylistic choices back. With little academic training, he became a Low Brow artist focusing on contemporary surrealist large scale figurative oil paintings.
A Raw-AWARDS nominee for best in Denver. Cedric is represented by The "Denver Art Society", "The Fusion Factory", and by "La Chitagaleria De Tu Novia Abuela", located in La Paz, Bolivia. He is also a recent addition to "Mark Whistler Gallery Revolution".

I have had many jobs, and various pays, with people from all the classes and cultural beliefs. I was a mailman, a cafeteria worker, and a process server. They say a fool learns from his mistakes and a wise man learns from the mistakes of others. The world is a place full of mistakes; lessons that were learned through the life long struggles of real people. Stories that were too real, too sad to idealize. I was a captain, a custodian, a salesman, a customer service rep, a teller, and a burger flipper, all at the same time. There is no grandjeur in the places already romanticized. Art is the reaction to function, the change in culture. Whom do not react to the environment. There is no great art and suffering found in the ideas of people too rich to enjoy themselves. Content, and the various truths come from the people that live in the world, and suffer through it. … Read More
