William Chad Willsie is a graduate from the Alberta College of Art and Design with a  bachelor degree in painting. His body of work began as an investigation in medias use of deploying utopian like narratives and detached expression to sell consumer goods. Media images where then used in the context of painting to confront the audience with the alien yet seductive nature of the “hyper-real”.  His work has since progressed into culturally and socially charged images, which encompasses the audience into the narrative world of the “hyper-real”.
