Chase Biado produces artworks that often depict imagined realms inhabited by non-human figures, including anthropomorphic creatures, which serve as vehicles for exploring psychological states and narratives. Describing his own work as “Goblin Baroque”, these figures navigate dreamlike environments, inviting contemplation on themes of beauty, interior versus exterior lives, and the construction of alternative realities. Compiling a series of 61 charcoal drawings, ‘Elf House’ creates a speculative history documenting a hidden taxonomy of elven domesticity. Biado’s whimsical, often meditative drawings are accompanied by the lyrical essay “On the Nature of Elves” by the artist.
