Passing Storm,
Chapman won the Gold Medal for painting at the Royal Eisteddfod of Wales in 1957 but became disillusioned with his painting and produced almost no work for twelve years from 1969. Revival of interest in Chapman’s work culminated in a major retrospective here at Goldmark Gallery in 1992, and his work is well represented in public collections including the National Museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum.
George Chapman was born in London and trained there at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal College of Art. His early influences included Sickert and the Euston Road School. However, a visit to the Rhondda in 1953 made a huge impression on him, and was to transform his vision of himself as an artist. His paintings of the Rhondda are now regarded as an important record of an industrial landscape and community that has all but disappeared.
