The John Mann Gallery is delighted to present a new exhibition by celebrated artist Cynthia Chapman, running from September 7 to October 5, 2024. Cynthia Chapman, a notable Canadian abstract painter, has been a prominent force in the country’s art community for over two decades. A graduate of OCAD University, Chapman is known for her spirited and evolving style that captures the energy and essence of her subjects. Her dedication to her craft is evident in every stroke and hue, resonating with audiences from different walks of life.

Chapman’s latest collection of oil on canvas paintings delves into the complex interplay between color and emotion. "For the past twenty years, my canvases have been a conversation with the world around me," explained Chapman. 

Thick impasto strokes create a tactile quality, emphasizing each color's emotional weight. Her intuitive process combines visceral color impacts with modular shapes' structural rigor, drawing the audience into a complex dialogue between form and feeling. The metaphor of neuroanatomy dissection illustrates how Chapman dissects paintings to understand and portray emotions.

Cynthia Chapman, a respected artist with a distinctive style, has a rich background in exploring the human experience through art. This exhibition offers a unique opportunity to experience Chapman’s artistry up close. Visitors are encouraged to immerse themselves in her world of complex narratives and rich visual textures.
