Guy Chase taught graphic design at Bethel University. In 2011 a retrospective of Chase's work was exhibited in the Bethel Galleries and in conjunction with this exhibit art historian James Romaine edited "The Art of Guy Chase" (Square Halo, 2011)

"Subversion and obsession both contribute significantly to Chase's series of legal-pad and ledger-sheet paintings from the 1980's and 1990's. Like a medieval monk pricking guidelines in a parchment, Chase prepared each work by penciling in exacting, perfectly proportioned blue lines and double-lined margins, then meticulously filled the rows and boxes with strokes of seamlessly matched yellow or light ledger-green gouache. The familiar form prepares us for mass-produced smoothness, but when we step closer, the dense opacity, reflective finish, and matte texture of gouache, which tends to clump slightly on the edges of the stroke, create the surprise of depth. You think you know what these are, but they turn out to be something completely different. They are transformed by Chase's conceptual alchemy." - Karen Mulder
