Artist Statement:
My paintings are a
narrative of longing and
desire through decay; each
layer peeling, sliding or
breaking away through time and
by weather revealing what came
before and a secret about the
place or object exposed. This
process is both allegory and
inspiration for my work. If I
were an object what would that
be? What secrets would be
revealed after time had it’s
way with me; and finally what
would be discovered about my
maker?...

Artist Reviews:
Artist Spectrum Magazine -
Review of work chosen for a
show at the Agora Gallery on
Oct. 23rd-
History, femininity,
intimacy and destiny all come
together seamlessly in Aryn
Chapman’s work. Her mixed
media paintings are literary,
inspired by people who knew
how to use words to release
seemingly incommunicable...

| Your Personal Biography |
I was raised in a family of theater and film designers on the Upper West side of Manhattan. My father has always said that I was born with a paint brush in my hand. As a child if I was awake and not eating, I was painting.
After many summer art classes at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Parsons School of Design and programs at the New York Art Students League, I went to La Guardia High School of Music and Art where I majored in fine art. From there I went to Bennington College in Vermont where I studied painting and then spent a year in Paris studying and creating paintings.
I followed my parents into the film business after graduation and was working as a camera person when I met and married my husband. Through out my film career I always managed to keep actively painting. Now I am a parent and able to paint at home with my son. Being an artist has given me the flexibility to work from home and be a stay at home parent.
A painter is who I am; it is also what I do.
