“It is my intent to challenge people, their thoughts and ideas with my artwork. I attempt to awaken their cognitive states and processes including perception, sensation, memory, imagination, judgment, and language, as well as intelligence and other aspects of intellectual functioning such as knowledge, opinions and beliefs. My work explores issues regarding relationships, gender roles, sex, politics, and short attention spans through popular images, flash art and lowbrow references,” Farris said. “Since my work deals with issues that can be controversial, viewers are forced to individually assign and attribute meanings and understanding to the world around them, and look at my work within the framework of this new set of definitions.”
Chad Farris has a Masters in Fine Arts from Texas Tech University. He has exhibited nationally and in Puerto Rico and Mexico. He resides in Edinburg, Texas and currently teaches at the University of Texas-Pan American.
Gallery hours are: Tuesday through Friday, 1 to 6pm; and Saturdays by appointment. Please call 956-207-0940 or e-mail: manichaus@gmail.com for more information. ManicHaus is a 2008-09 McAllen Arts Council grant recipient.
