Karen Chapellow

Karen Chappelow is an expressionist artist and sculptor who offers a daring commentary on contemporary society. She draws heavily from history, anthropology, mythology, and pop culture in a way that overthrows original gender dynamics and hands the reins of control back to women, or the oppressed, unapologetically, adding a twist of sassy humour to the mix. She has been Sculpting and painting for more than 20 years and has collectors around the world.

"I like it when I get a physical reaction from people when they view my art. Life's whimsy, fun, and sometimes political nature is evident in my work. By expressing the fierceness of a female, the ridiculous in a scenario becomes a message turned into humour to soften the blow, breaking down barriers. The expressionist nature of my work is to blur the edges of reality and make people smile, wonder, think, and create conversation." Karen Chappelow
