Elissa Cristall Gallery presents Rebecca Chaperon, Feb 4-25

Elissa Cristall Gallery on South Granville presents paintings from Rebecca Chaperon’s series entitled Like a Great Black Fire, from February 4th to 25th, 2012.

An elongated and detailed landscape stretches across canvases populated by foreboding, black, geometric forms and meticulously rendered figures. Rebecca Chaperon’s paintings portray the narrative of a female protagonist within a surreal landscape. Her subject matter ranges from ethereal and dream-like to darkly humorous; she often deals with the feminine perspective from an autobiographical point of view.

With a compulsion to create unique and visual stories, Rebecca Chaperon takes the imaginative subjects of her paintings and establishes an ability to engage us by speaking to the enchantment of our human experience. Her paintings act as a means of storytelling, conveying the notion of human struggle in the 21st century. Tempered by references to the synthesized, modern world she combines the classical landscape aesthetics of the past with an aspect of ambient, reflective self-portraiture.
