I have a peculiar urge to introduce Chuck as the "amazing Chuck Tisa". Chuck has the rare ability to convey seemingly incompatible and contradictory attitudes and messages together. The grotesque people and creatures that pepper his work express an innocence and calm uncharacteristic of their rough and tortured physiques. His work provokes a multitude of thoughts and from my experience I have found it is better to simply allow these thoughts to emerge and dissipate rather than attempt to subject any order onto them. The impression this leaves for me is one of pleasant confusion in which the complexities reveal the simplicities and vice versa. I am truly impressed by this almost magic ability of his.
