Rebecca Chaperon’s latest series is an enchanting dive into the surreal, where charming portals lead to eerie yet captivating worlds. Each painting blends her signature mildly gothic aesthetic with psychedelic whimsy, inviting viewers to escape the mundane and step into otherworldly narratives. These portals, adorned with wobbly rainbows and sentient crystal companions, strike a perfect balance between the haunting and the delightful.
“I’m passionate about creating work for people who want something different in their art collection,” Chaperon shares. “Like an escape hatch that takes you out of the day-to-day and into a psychedelic, mildly gothic, storybook world. And I’ll be there, just chilling in the void with my wobbly rainbows and crystal friends.”
Born in England and now based in Canada, Chaperon is a pro of creating spaces that hover on the edge of perception. Her work oscillates between figurative landscapes and symbolic spaces that whisper of hidden narratives. Recurring motifs such as hovering crystals, palatial icebergs, and secretive caves weave a surreal tapestry throughout her painting series.
A graduate of Emily Carr University, Chaperon has been widely exhibited in cities such as Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, and Los Angeles. Her pieces are held in prominent private and corporate collections, including TD Canada and Aritzia, and her work has garnered recognition with two Canada Council Awards.
This series is not only a visual escape but also an invitation to own a piece of Chaperon’s world. Her shop features original paintings, stampe, and even coloring books for those looking to immerse themselves further in her storybook-inspired universe.
