The following interview with CHET ZAR was conducted by Lana Gentry. This rare interview with Chet Zar is the first in a series of in-depth art interviews with MASTERS IN ART:

With marked personal success in the fields of both film and oil painting, Chet Zar is no stranger to commercial success. Having said this, his emotional core has always remained true and intact and his perspective and observances on commercial film and art are extremely fascinating. He remains to date, one of the most admired modern surrealist painters to emerge from the West Coast underground, pop surrealist and lowbrow art scene of the past decade. He is creatively diverse, multitalented and humble in sharing his personal thoughts on emotional matters, such as the murder of brilliant artist Zdsislaw Beksinski. His revelations are informative and personal, and it is here that you will find a great depth emerging from his dark and apocalyptic imagery. Despite his ability to convey lightness in the dark of his work, and optimism in his overall view, there does remain a sensitivity and connectedness about him that make him quite human, in addition to being a master artist.
