TAD SARE
Tad Sare is a mutli-disciplinary artist, with an emphasis in animation, living in Philadelphia (U.S.). The medium of animation allows him to create work that deals with perception, communication, and interpretation by obscuring and revealing pieces of a narrative utilizing motion. The visual themes present in the work explore how we receive information and process it on a personal and global level. The work borrows from devices and imagery from espionage literature and film that transcend time and place in a contemporary setting. He is currently the department chair of animation at the Delaware College of Art & Design instructing students in Fine Arts and Animation courses.
