Artist Bio:
Sarah Chapman is based out of NYC and maintains her studio in Long Island City. She graduated with a B.A. and J.D. from NYU, and furthered her art education at the Art Students League, where she trained in drawing, painting, and printmaking.
In 2025, she was an artist-in-residence at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, where her project explored the relationship between our emotional experience and contemporary monsters, both within ourselves and in the world. Additionally, she is the Art Theory & Criticism Monitor at the Art Students League and a Visiting Teaching Artist at the Main Line Art Center.
Her artwork is frequently exhibited and is displayed in private and corporate collections nationwide and internationally.
Artist Statement:
Sarah Chapman anchors her practice in the research of emotion. She explores these themes through representational oil paintings of unicorns, which she filters and warps through personal memory and imagination, while investigating specific pigments and materiality which reflect her conversation with the current condition. Her current Emoticorns and Megacorns series explore the relationship between the paint and what lies beneath, both supporting and distorting, inviting reflection into the viewer’s particular internal experience of the anthropocene.
