Although Chippa is trained in painting and printmaking, he successfully navigates a three-dimensional form that exhibits the drama of his dreams. Dreams have a profound influence on memories and he depicts these in his hyper-realistic sculptures. His work presents the intangible process of pictorial imagination in a recognizable form. In the sculpture The Winged Man the materiality of the feathered wings forms a surreal juxtaposition with the machinery embedded in the human form. The figure seems poised for take off on an imaginative flight.
