Cynthia Chapman (b. 1977, Toronto, Canada) is an acclaimed Canadian abstract painter whose bold, intuitive handling of colour and impasto places her firmly within the lineage of the country’s most significant postwar painters. A graduate of OCAD and recipient of both the Solomon Painting Award and the Mrs. W.O. Forsyth Award, Chapman emerged as a standout talent in the early 2000s and quickly secured a position at the prestigious Moore Gallery in Toronto—alongside historically important artists such as Riopelle, Molinari, and Snow.

Her large-scale works, commissioned by institutions such as the Hazelton Hotel in Toronto’s Yorkville district, are noted for their visceral energy, chromatic sophistication, and formal innovation. Critics and curators have lauded her as an intuitive colorist whose paintings “vibrate like chords in a thrilling piece of music” (Joan Murray), and her exhibitions at Hatch Gallery and John Mann Gallery have consistently drawn serious collector interest. Chapman’s works are held in significant private and corporate collections across North America, Europe, and the Middle East.

As her market and reputation continue to rise, Chapman’s work represents a rare opportunity to invest in the career of an artist already positioned to enter the canon of Canadian abstraction.
