60 x 60

Chase Winkler has a way with understanding a character.  He is the best I've ever known at physically impersonating anybody (or anything) in their voice, gesture, and mannerism.  I have realized over many years of seeing his 2-dimensional work that there is a beautifully obvious and brilliant connection between his drawing and his thoughts... how he see's the world.  I know that fact sounds simple; in that everyone tries that in a way.... Yet, it is incredibly hard to successfully express to a stranger something so complex as a thought.  To speak without saying anything, almost.  Well, it comes pretty natural to him... I don't even think he realizes it.

Sixty Drawings in Sixty Minutes is Chases take on Ten Sculptures In Ten Days.  He made his own rules followed them.  He documented and time-lapsed the process and posted it HERE, along with a clever write-up by he, himself.  In these studies, I can see people he has been around and things he has been thinking about.  It seems to me like a kind of explosion of stuff that makes him laugh, or makes him mad, sad, or things he learns while working, things he remembers from his dreams, or things that he is afraid of, or things he ponders while having a beer on the hill.  Watch and enjoy.  Thanks, Chase.   ART IS FUN.  Cheers.
