HENRY CHAPMAN

On loan from the Collection of Beth Rudin DeWoody, ‘Bad News (2019)’ looks like a seal to commemorate the bad—bad news, omens, men and lands. Alternatively, it might be a clock with the dial stopped at the most recent bad news from the political news cycle, or an ominous omen of what’s to come.

Henry Chapman’s work has been described as “making a case for rigorous attentiveness to the interaction among forms.” The subject of solo-and two-person shows at Kate Werble Gallery, T293 Gallery, Labs Gallery in Bologna, and Rhona Hoffman Gallery, Chapman has received support from the Philip Guston and Musa McKim Named Residency at Yaddo, the Elizabeth Canfield Hicks Prize, and the Hans G and Thordis W Burckhardt Foundation. He trained at The Cooper Union, where he was awarded Young Alumnus of the Year in 2013, and at Yale University, where he completed his MFA in 2015.
