Lee Chabot

I believe the essence of my work centers around my impressions of a subject and how I express them thru effective uses of line, composition and color applications. What inspires me about a subject determines the style in which I express this interpretation to capture the viewer’s interest.

My styles range from Impressionism, Semi-abstract to Abstract Expressionism.
I have been fascinated by what perspective and line do to create a visual narrative. Color, and its endless possibilities, solidified my interest in pursuing a career in the arts. Color theory, the study of the masters, and learning from established and renowned artists have continued to inspire me. I feel strongly that composition is a most important aspect in the successful achievement of any painting. Therefore, I always strive to create a composition that retains the viewer’s interest through the effective uses of line, texture and color balance. 
My work sometimes complex and other times simple geometrical arrangements, possesses a certain vitality and movement shaped by unique palette knife and brushwork to create energy and motion or subtle and introspective compositions.

“Painting is expression when words will never do”.
