Eric J Chapman is an award-winning American artist who specializes in pencil, oil paint and pastel. Captivated by the beauty of the world around him, he uses realism as a vehicle to express what he sees and experiences. He teeters between a rigid fidelity to the model and an infusion of personal flair and creatively in what he paints. His colors are bold without losing a natural quality. His execution is detailed and meticulous, but expressive and fluid when warranted. He often utilizes allegory and symbolism to provide a narrative to his subjects but seeks to do so in ways that are subtle enough to allow the viewer their own interpretations.
