Chad Knight and Brilly for the launch of The Crypt Gallery

Chad Knight’s vibrant digital art moves between the meditative and the frenetic. Chad Knight is a veteran 3D artist and retired professional skateboarder. The director of 3D at Nike by day, the artist’s personal work seems to exist in alien worlds, with his works being made in Cinema 4D. These are places inhabited by enormous, elaborate beings that appear in mid-evolution. The artist posts a new creation each day on his Instagram account as part of an ongoing effort.

Art often gives viewers a look into the mind of an artist. For Chad Knight, his surreal digital creations are a personal journal (he claims his art always represents something or someone) begging to be explored and dissected. Knight is both a senior 3D design director at Nike and a 3D digital artist, and his reach is growing immensely alongside the digital sculptures he creates.
