“I asked ChatGPT to summarize the Warm & Fuzzy show by Chad Beroth at Delurk Gallery and this is what it offered…” - Chad Beroth
The art show "Warm & Fuzzy, A Contemporary Portrait of America" by Chad Beroth, presents a bold, chaotic, and colorful exploration of modern American culture.
There’s No Such Thing As Victims and There’s No Such Thing as Wolves - both selections from Chad Beroth’s Featured Artist Exhibit; WARM & FUZZY at Delurk through April 27, 2025.
Beroth's work uses a mix of surrealism, satire, and nostalgic imagery to critique and comment on various aspects of American life — from politics and media to consumerism and national identity.
The paintings are filled with whimsical yet unsettling characters like anthropomorphic animals, cartoonish figures, historical references, and distorted portraits. Themes like the "Cold War," "flight to the moon," "revolution," and "media nostalgia" ("News Was Better on Wooden TVs") are prominently featured, suggesting a blend of humor and cynicism about how America views itself and its history.
The title, Warm & Fuzzy, seems intentionally ironic — while the art style appears playful at first glance, the deeper messages often expose tension, disillusionment, and absurdity. The show feels like a visual collage of American dreams and nightmares, layered with vibrant energy and dark wit.
It opened at Delurk Gallery on Friday, April 4, 2025.
Geez. 😳
