Artist Statement

Rebecca Chaperon’s dark and playful illustrations and paintings give viewers a glimpse into her own psychological landscape. On the visual journey through Chaperon’s work we are repeatedly immersed in surreal versions of the world, places that waver just outside of our perception. Hovering crystals, palatial icebergs, secretive caves, and psychedelic gardens are some of the recurring motifs found in each of her painting series. Her work shifts between treating the landscape as figurative representation or as highly symbolic spaces that hint at a mysterious narrative.
