Chapek's painting creates a conscious space for the viewer to travel within the image. The micro world of the paint and the macro world of the imagery allow for an abstracted reflection of the natural world, religion, and pop culture to explore within the edges of the canvas.Label
"The artist's deeply personal approach to oil painting incorporates abstracted natural
imagery and movement to explore universal concepts of pain, acceptance and
transformation. Thick impasto brush strokes are built up or scraped away to reveal the
primed canvas alongside thin washes of color. All combine into a luscious, textured
and ambiguous space of exploration.
The artist creates a conscious space for the viewer to travel within the architectural
construct of the image. Details of washes and lines collide with thick impasto brush
strokes and drags. The micro world of the paint and the macro world of the imagery
allow for an abstracted reflection of the natural world, religion and pop culture to
explore within the edges of the canvas."
