I strive to create work that is universal, touching upon the deeper, subconscious truths that we all share, resulting in work that is reflects our humanity, for better or worse. Within my sculptures, I give new life to everyday materials that are often taken for granted or discarded.
Dan Chambers (b.1969, Arlington Heights, Illinois) lives and works in the south suburbs of Chicago. He is currently in his 28th year as a public high school art teacher. Although he has continued painting throughout his career, Chambers has focused heavily on sculpture within the last decade. He has shown work at local galleries, colleges and universities in the south Chicagoland region during that time. He creates abstract, figurative sculptures constructed mostly from found objects, recycled and repurposed materials, and used industrial materials.
