JUROR | DOMINIC CHAMBERS
Marker Arts is pleased to piece of work with Dominic Chambers as the juror of awards for the Abstract National Exhibition.

Dominic Chambers (b. 1993 St. Louis, MO; lives and works in New Haven, CT) creates vibrant paintings that simultaneously engage art historical models, such equally color-field painting and gestural abstraction, and contemporary concerns around race, identity, and the necessity for leisure and reflection. Interested in how fine art can function as a way for understanding, recontextualizing, or renegotiating one's relationship to the world, the artist sees painting as a critical and intellectual endeavor, every bit much equally an aesthetic ane. A author himself, Chambers draws inspiration from literature, particularly Magical Realism and the writing of W.East.B. Du Bois, particularly Du Bois' The Souls of Blackness Folk, and one of its central themes―the veil. A product of racial injustice that is a metaphorical lens through which Black bodies are observed and experienced, references to the veil appear throughout the artist'due south work, whether in the large swaths of color that obscure the figures in his Launder Paintings series, or in his recurring use of a raindrop motif as both an active and passive element in his paintings. Many of Chambers' compositions incorporate Fabulist elements, including ghostly silhouettes meant to exist stand up-ins for the artist and surreal landscapes that feel both familiar nonetheless unplaceable.

Chambers' work is in a number of private and public collections, including the Light-green Family Foundation, Dallas, TX; Loftier Museum of Fine art, Atlanta, GA; Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, CA; and the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Miami, FL.

Chambers is the recipient of the Robert Reed Drawing Scholarship, Yale University, New Oasis, CT (2018); Ellen Battell Stoeckel Fellowship, Yale Norfolk Schoolhouse of Art (awarded through Milwaukee Establish of Art and Design) (2015); and the Varsity Fine art XVIII Award, St. Louis Customs College – Florissant Valley, St. Louis, MO (2014).
