Hi! My name is Chelsea Chase. I consider myself a fairly new artist, at least with this type of medium, I feel that I have finally found my calling in the art world. I have always been creative and have tried my hand at multiple art forms. I actually had a portrait photography business for 10 years but I could never find a groove or style that really made me genuinely excited about my work. I was recently inspired by my best friend who is a 4th grade teacher who did an art project with her class using torn magazine pages. Through that I have found something that makes me truly unique and creates a richness and depth that really makes my heart happy.

The integration of quasi architectural and natural landscapes forms the spine of my social, historical and political commentary. Neoexpressiinism is my sphere of operation. It suits my temperament. This genre also accurately reflects the distorted paradigm in which we live.

I am an artist and musician based in Southern, California. The art that I make is directly tied to what music I am recording at the time. Over the last several years I have written, recorded and released 2 EP’s; in the early phases of the recording process for my first record, I realized that one of the magical things that I used to love about buying music was the art work. It was a way to jointly study the music and what paintings, drawings, photographs, lyrics and liner notes accompanied the physical songs.

It was a way to jointly study the music and what paintings, drawings, photographs, lyrics and liner notes accompanied the physical songs.
In the digital domain, my EPs and albums get released and ‘pushed out’ to a cold, vast sea of platforms, playlists, blogs, etc., typically, with one tiny picture (cover art) associated with the artist’s eight or 10 songs. So, I tried to recreate the past experience and release my music with 1 painting per song; that way, the listener could explore the cover art work – as well as the individual song pieces.
In between music recording projects, I continue to make art. They are usually made when I am going through the song writing process and home studio demo recording for new material for the next album. The four that I have selected for this submission fall into that wedge. In between. All are acrylic and ink pen on canvas or canvas board.

I have been drawing ever since I burst forth, urgent and confused, from a municipal bed into England. Initially I doodled as a way of alleviating childhood angst; now I do it as a way of alleviating angst that’s all grown up and running around with scissors.
Working in a variety of media, I parody mass culture by exaggerating formal aspects inherent in our society. I make work that sometimes appears idiosyncratic and quirky; at other times a by-product of Western hyper-consumption; yet more, humorously indecent.
My artworks are given improper functions; implications are contrary, form and content merge. Shapes are dissociated from their original meaning and the system in which they normally function is thereby exposed. Initially unambiguous meanings are shattered and disseminate endlessly.
By putting the viewer on the wrong track, I gently prod various overlapping themes and strategies, with several recurring ideas (such as class, provocation, violence, family and sexual desire) eventually being throttled. Being confronted as aesthetically resilient and thematically interrelated for memory and projection, my work seems true and, as we all know, the truth exists but it has many faces.
Energy (heat, light, water), space and landscape are examined in less obvious ways and sometimes developed absurdly. In a search for new methods to read the city, I focus on the idea of public space and more specifically on spaces where anyone can do anything at any given moment; the non-private space, the non-privately owned space, space that is economically uninteresting but socially and historically wondrous.
I often refer to popular culture in all of this. Using written, drawn and photographic symbols, a world where light-heartedness rules (some of the time), and where rules are undermined, is created. And, lurking somewhere in the chaos, you will find signposts; signposts to a community only now seen through a blurred lens, enmeshed in hyperbole and ultraviolence; signposts to a country that may never have even existed.
But, ultimately, I just like drawing pictures.

Gale Rothstein’s art practice has always been about ‘putting together the pieces’-as a child it was not unusual for her to take apart one thing to make another. Creating assemblage/collage sculptures provides her with unlimited opportunities for choice of materials through her penchant for collecting vintage objects, the harvested innards of discarded and broken appliances and hardware, and the amazing things found on the street.
Gale Rothstein’s art practice has always been about ‘putting together the pieces’-as a child it was not unusual for her to take apart one thing to make another. Creating assemblage/collage sculptures provides her with unlimited opportunities for choice of materials through her penchant for collecting vintage objects, the harvested innards of discarded and broken appliances and hardware, and the amazing things found on the street. Through the creation of her assemblage environments, the parameters of context are wide open; she creates fantasy worlds that incorporate references to Dada and Surrealism, historical content, and through juxtaposition of contrasting elements, prompt the viewer to question relationships to scale, location, and relativity. “Where are we? Who is here with us? How big or small are we? Are we awake or dreaming?” As we enter and journey through a crumbling amusement park, abandoned bathroom consumed by nature, or bedroom that is situated simultaneously inside a room and on an Italian piazza, the visitor is challenged to reevaluate one’s sense of time, place, and orientation. Her titles are also part of the creative process; identifying the work with compelling names further add to the mystique and are an essential finishing touch.
The artist dedicates her work to the memory of her father Milton Rothstein, a jack of all trades and one of the original recyclers and re-purposers, decades before it was a trend. She inherited his vintage collection of parts, and incorporates many of his objects into her assemblages, further supporting the historical and personal foundation of the work.
