Fine Art

Chad Fandel is a rare and historically inspired mixed media piece crafted with authentic vintage fabric from the late 1800s, mounted on canvas and framed with a black float frame. Featuring the 37-star “Great Flower” pattern, this artwork reflects the brief Centennial Era following Nebraska’s admission as the 37th state. The star arrangement—a large six-pointed star surrounded by smaller clusters—captures a moment of American unity, creativity, and expansion. The aged cotton and distinctive star design evoke the spirit of post–Civil War patriotism and homemade craftsmanship. This piece is hand signed by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Artist Chad Fandel Title Majestic Flower

“First to Fall Forward” by Chad Fandel is a powerful pop art mixed media tribute to one of mankind’s greatest achievements—the 1969 moon landing. Created with layers of authentic vintage newspaper clippings from that historic year and painted in vibrant acrylic on canvas, the piece captures the monumental moment with abstract astronaut outlines marching boldly across a textured cosmic backdrop. Bold linework in electric hues overlays the newsprint, forming a spectral procession of figures, with a central white silhouette symbolizing Neil Armstrong’s first step onto lunar soil. Headlines like “Moon, Here They Come!” peek through, grounding the work in real history while infusing it with modern commentary on legacy, ambition, and discovery.
