Artist

Lee Chabot was born and presently resides in Rhode Island. Chabot realized by the age of 12 that he had a natural ability to comprehend perspective, light and the principles of color and expressed this ability through drawing and painting. A graduate of the Art Institute of Boston, he is influenced by the works of J.M.W. Turner, Paul Cezanne, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Vincent Van Gogh.

The first thing that captures your attention when viewing a painting by Lee Chabot is
his approach to perspective. It dives deep into the picture plane, offering spacious views
of the scenery, or dances around your point of view, concurrently providing multiple
perspectives. This stylistic quality is the hinge upon which all other artistic elements hang.
Chabot possesses a wonderful sense for color, employing an exuberant palette that is bright
and charming. His brush and palette knife work adds particular vitality to the image,
decidedly sculptural and wonderfully alive. Chabot’s style tells the story of a time and place,
communicating with us in a way that words alone cannot.



Chabot's work has been exhibited in galleries around the country including New York City, Santa Fe, New Mexico, Laguna Beach, California, Fort Lauderdale, and Florida.
