Uncle Fester is a member of the fictional Addams Family and has been played by numerous actors, beginning with Jackie Coogan in the television series The Addams Family. Chet Zar’s empathetic oil paintings of monsters invite viewers to connect with their “shadow sides.” Often set in a barren background, his portraits of monsters run the gamut from brooding to sad to humorous to contemplative to simply mysterious. What they have in common is their ability to beautifully convey emotion through the unlikely vehicle of monsters. Zar got his start in the special-effects field, creating three-dimensional creatures by hand for movies such as Hellboy and The Ring, and he’s also known for his work in music videos for the band Tool. When Zar first started selling his paintings in the early 2000s, there was not a huge market for them, but either he found his audience or the art world caught up with him. He has noted that the popularity that tattoos have attained over the last several years has likely played a role in the emerging popularity of Dark Art: the aesthetic of a lot of tattoo design is similar to that of Dark Art, and as more people have gotten tattoos, more people have been exposed to this type of art in general and have liked it. While some may think of Dark Art as art which depicts horror or violence or is heavily influenced by the tropes of misunderstood Hollywood style occultism, for Zar, it is a broader genre with a far more universal meaning: Dark Art is a genre through which people can explore their fears, anxieties, experiences of loneliness, etc. Zar, born on November 12, 1967, has been exploring Dark Art since his childhood days in the harbour town of San Pedro, CA. From an early age, he was fascinated with monsters and horror movies: after seeing the original The Dawn of the Dead and The Howling at around age 12, he knew he wanted to make masks and other constructions similar to the effects he saw in those movies. Zar spent his teens playing music, dirt bike racing, and building his portfolio. At age 16, he got his first paying job in effects, doing makeup at theme park for the Halloween season. After he graduated from high school, he was poised to enter the California Institute of the Arts. But he realised that movie studios were just an hour away from him, and he decided that it made more sense to take his body of work up to that point and see if he could parlay that into a job in the industry. The fledgling Alterian Studios offered Zar his first real entry into the industry, and he remained there for more than 10 years, when he was offered the opportunity to work in the studio of Rick Baker. This led to the offer to do effects work on the movie Hellboy, directed by Guillermo del Toro. By the time Hellboy II was being made, del Toro trusted Zar enough to give him almost free rein in creating the Chamberlain for that movie. Zar did special effects work for a variety of movies, including Planet of the Apes, The Grinch, The Ring, and Me, Myself & Irene. While Zar was working at the studio and on these outside projects, he was also painting in his spare time and began to sell his paintings. As Zar began to sell work that sprang from his own imagination, he grew increasingly dissatisfied with spending the bulk of his time creating special-effects work that was mostly reflective of the visions of other people. In 2000, he made the decision to start a new fine art career and spent the next 9 years establishing it in tandem with his day job in FX. In 2009, he left the movie industry to create his own art full-time. Zar is a self-taught painter who has noted that with enough dedication, one can take advantage of the many free resources available on the Internet for learning technique. He was mentored as a child by his step-father, fantasy artist James Zar, and he considers H. R. Giger, Frank Frazetta and Zdzisław Beksinski to be among his top influences.
