Pitman employs the use of bold color, balance and visual manipulation that are used to such effect in advertising.

His brush strokes are both playful and disruptive, deconstructing the original photograph into something new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003eChad Pitman (b. 1981) has published two books of his work, \u003cem\u003eValley Pines\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eWaves Asphalt Light\u003c\/em\u003e.
