Artist Statement:

Philippe Chambon applies his own distinctive abstract vocabulary to create a highly visual, interactive experience. His painting technique utilizes multiple layers of acrylic paint, allowing the interplay of transparency and opacity to forge a unique and powerful vision.

From his earliest years in Lyon, France, Chambon’s emerging style was influenced by modern masters such as Kandinsky, Malevich and Delaunay. After arriving in the United States in 1988, Chambon continued to develop his visual language with further inspiration drawn from the works of American Expressionists such as Jackson Pollock, Stanton MacDonald-Wright and Franz Kline.

Philippe Chambon’s latest body of work establishes a vivid dialog of complex, interwoven imagery that, through interaction with the viewer, becomes more than just paint on canvas. The visual impact evolves into a total sensory experience, engaging the attention of all the sensibilities.

Each canvas compels the eye to take a journey through intricate landscapes of spectrum and form, dipping in and out of a space at once alien and achingly familiar.

“Painting for me begins with the blank canvas, and an open question. Nothing is planned or arranged beforehand, as I must remain open to the answers that emerge from the paint itself.

”I am forever grateful to the great pioneering creators that have gone before me. Their work freed the artist from the object, opening the door to a daring and exciting world of creative expression.”
