Biography:
Chad Hoover was born in Boston, Massachusetts on March 18, 1971. He was exposed to the medical world early in his life by his father, a surgeon. He currently uses medical imagery he collects as the source material for his recent work. Through a series of investigations using x-rays to create installation, and photographs of operative procedures to make paintings and dry erase board drawings, Hoover challenges the viewer to consider issues concerning mortality and human intervention. In 1996 Hoover obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. From 1998-2000 he studied drawing, painting, and sculpture in the Certificate Program of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art in Philadelphia, PA. Currently, he is a Master of Fine Arts candidate in painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA. Hoover has participated in several group exhibitions in Philadelphia and Savannah, and was represented by Solstice Gallery, Long Beach Island, NJ from 2003-2007. He lives in Savannah with his wife Rachel, a Physician Assistant, who, along with his father, is the inspiration for his work about surgery. |
