Bio

Chad Etting is a multifaceted artist whose works capture the vibrancy of daily life in New England. His abstract pieces, marked by colorful, gestural brushstrokes, reflect the dynamic essence of his surroundings in New Hampshire and Maine.

Etting’s landscape and still life paintings draw inspiration from his daily experiences, imbuing each canvas with the subtle beauty of everyday moments.

Etting's hand-painted text pieces serve as a visual diary, illustrating his personal history through common signs, symbols, and words found throughout New England.

A recent series, Men’s Wear, shifts his focus to ads from his Instagram feed. This collection of figurative works features instantly recognizable men’s wardrobe staples like colorful chore jackets, New Balance sneakers, a Baracuta jacket, cuffed chinos, and a Champion crewneck sweatshirt.

Etting’s ability to transform mundane advertisements and ordinary images into captivating art pieces speaks to his keen observational skills and creative prowess. Like his previous work, Men’s Wear feels autobiographical yet universally relatable, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with clothing, personal history, and modern advertising. Etting proves that the more personal you make something, the more universal it can become.
