"Battery" by Paul Chatem

Born in 1974, Paul Chatem is an American Postwar & Contemporary artist whose work has been exhibited by noteworthy galleries like San Francisco's The Shooting Gallery. "My art is inspired by history and looks like it has been around for a while," says Chatem. "It's done in a cartoony style but has an aged texture to it that gives it an atmosphere of a bygone time."

Chatem's piece "Battery" is fueled with gritty energy and storytelling power.
