Aleah Chapin (born March 11, 1986) is an American painter whose direct portrayals of the human form have expanded the conversation around western culture’s representations of the body in art. Described by Eric Fischl as “the best and most disturbing painter of flesh alive today,” Chapin’s work has explored aging, gender and beauty, influenced in part by the community within which she was raised on an island in the Pacific Northwest. More recently, Chapin's work has taken a radically inward shift, expanding her visual language in order to better express the turbulent times we are living in. Consistent throughout her career, Chapin’s work asks the question: What does it mean to exist within a body today?

  • Aleah Chapin (born March 11, 1986) is an American painter whose direct portrayals of the human form have expanded the conversation around western culture’s representations of the body in art. Described by Eric Fischl as “the best and most disturbing painter of flesh alive today,” Chapin’s work has explored aging, gender and beauty, influenced in part by the community within which she was raised on an island in the Pacific Northwest. More recently, Chapin's work has taken a radically inward shift, expanding her visual language in order to better express the turbulent times we are living in. Consistent throughout her career, Chapin’s work asks the question: What does it mean to exist within a body today? Chapin holds a BFA from Cornish College of the Arts and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art. She has attended residencies at the Leipzig International Art Program (Germany) and MacDowell (United States). Chapin has exhibited both nationally and internationally at places such as Flowers Gallery (New York, London, Hong Kong), The Belvedere Museum (Austria), and the National Portrait Gallery (London). She has been a recipient of the Promising Young Painters Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (New York), the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (Canada), a Postgraduate Fellowship from the New York Academy of Art, and won the 2012 BP Portrait Award at the National Portrait Gallery (London). Her work has been published extensively in print and online, and she is a subject in the BBC documentary titled “Portrait of an Artist”. Aleah Chapin lives and works in Seattle, WA. (en)
  • Aleah Chapin est une peintre américaine née le 11 mars 1986. Elle a remporté le premier prix BP Portrait en 2012. Née à Seattle dans l'État de Washington, Chapin grandit sur l'île Whidbey. Elle étudie au (en), avant de faire sa maîtrise à la New York Academy of Art[réf. nécessaire]. Elle est boursière de troisième cycle de l'académie. Tout en terminant ses études de troisième cycle, Chapin participe à l’exposition 2012 des prix BP Portrait de la National Portrait Gallery de Londres. Elle remporte le premier prix pour son œuvre Auntie, le nu d'une femme d'âge mûr. Elle est la première artiste américaine à remporter ce prix. Chapin peint une série de portraits de femmes nues de sa région natale, qu'elle décrit comme ses « tantes ». Elle peint à l'huile en utilisant des photographies des sujets comme source. Elle décrit sa peinture primée, Auntie, comme « une carte de son voyage à travers la vie ». La Flowers Gallery accueille sa première exposition, Aunties Project en 2013. Daniel Maidman a décrit le style des peintures comme étant marqué du passage de Chapin à la NYAA. Pour Maidman, Chapin est capable de raconter l'histoire des femmes âgées avec les marques et les cicatrices que la vie leur a infligées. Il décrit Steps, son tableau de 2012 représentant un groupe de « tantes », comme étant «probablement le tableau le plus ambitieux de Chapin à ce jour», dégageant une confiance en soi presque caricaturale, semblable aux peintures de Rubens. (en) qualifie quant à lui Auntie de « répugnant et grotesque comtpe-rendu d'un dossier médical ». (fr)
