Chloe Chiasson

Biography

Chloe received her BS from the University of Texas at Austin and MFA from the New York Academy of Art. While at the NYAA, she concentrated in painting and was awarded the Belle Artes Residency and the Chubb Post-Graduate Fellowship. Chiasson has exhibited internationally in London and Hong Kong (upcoming). A recently named finalist for The Bennett Prize, her work has been featured in Art Basel Miami Beach, New American Paintings, Artnet news, Juxtapoz Magazine, Fine Art Connoisseur, and American Art Collector.  

 

My interest is in the space “in between”: in between worlds, in between genders. My position in between has me defined by, trapped in, resisting and breaking free from the cultural construction of gender identity, expression, and sexuality. This “in between” existing only through the acknowledgement that you are either one, or the other. Inspired by the desire to rebel and confront this paradigm of sameness versus difference that has historically suppressed non-conforming identities and expressions, my work is a rejection of the mutual exclusiveness of many things: of femininity and masculinity, of sexuality and freedoms of expression, of being yourself, secular perhaps, open, in landscapes and spaces that historically demand that I, and other queer people like me, specifically cannot and should not exist.
