Chase Biado said bridging fantasy and art once felt off limits, asif he were“smuggling childhood interests into a contemporaryconversation.”In reality, fantasy is a critical facet of adultlife.“We’re having these epic mythological experiences—inourheads and in our relationships,”he said.“But on the exterior,we’re going about our daily lives.”Biado’s style, draped injubilation, entices viewers to imagine, for a second, what else ispossible.
