Completely self-taught, Chad thrives in the realm of acrylic paint, utilizing it as his preferred medium to bring his vivid visions to life.
The roots of Chad's artistic expression can be traced back to his upbringing saturated with cartoons, skateboarding, punk rock, and counterculture. These diverse influences serve as a dynamic melting pot for his creations, where he skillfully finds beauty in the chaos. Chad's art, displayed on canvas, sneakers, and walls, reflects his ability to merge the unconventional with the aesthetically compelling.

His client list boasts notable names from the realms of entertainment, sports, and brand collaborations, a testament to the universal appeal and recognition of his unique artistic vision. Chad Carothers sees the potential for artistic expression in everyday objects, challenging conventional perceptions and pushing the envelope of what art can achieve with the right perspective. As he continues to captivate audiences worldwide, Chad Cantcolor's impact on contemporary Pop Art remains both distinctive and influential.
