Chase Lock is an expressionist artist whose primary medium is oil painting. His artistic journey began in the unlikely setting of Minot, North Dakota, where a passion for art ran parallel to his early involvement in motocross racing. Growing up in rural America, Lock found an unconventional outlet in graffiti, using trains as a canvas to carry his work across the country. This formative experience instilled in him a profound desire to immerse himself fully in the art world, a pursuit that eventually led him to Los Angeles, California, where he now resides.

In Los Angeles, Lock developed a deep reverence for the layers of paint and history embedded in the city’s graffiti culture. This aesthetic became a foundational element of his artistic vision, informing his transition from the streets to the studio. Working with oils, Lock translates the raw, layered textures of graffiti into a refined fine art practice, bringing a new dimension to his exploration of form and surface.

While the environment in which he creates has evolved, the core of Lock’s artistic drive remains unchanged. The same risks, relentless expression, and uncompromising need to create that fueled his early work continue to define his practice today. His art embodies the fearless spirit of his graffiti roots, now elevated into a sophisticated and compelling expression of contemporary fine art.

Chase Lock’s work has been featured in numerous prestigious projects and corporate collections, including those of Red Bull, Microsoft, Ducati, Amazon, and St. Jude Children's Hospital. His bold approach, rooted in his formative experiences, continues to resonate powerfully in the contemporary art world.
