DURING EXTENSIVE TRAVELS IN MEXICO AND NOVA SCOTIA, HE BOTH SKETCHED AND PAINTED LOCAL SIGHTS. IN MEXICO HE MET AND PAINTED WITH JOSE CLEMENTE OROZCO , WHOSE STYLE OF BOLD SYMBOLISM LATER INFLUENCED CHEZAR'S WORK. HIS OWN MODERN ABSTRACT WORK BEGAN IN THE 1970's. IN THE 1980's HE MOVED TO SUN CITY (Probably Los Angeles) WHERE HE DESIGNED A PAINTING TITLED "RANDOM MODALITIES" WHERE THE FRAME IS ACTUALLY INCORPORATED AS PART OF THE ART (THE TECHNIQUE WAS PATENT PENDING WHEN HE PASSED AWAY IN 2008)
