Amirah Chatman
April 11 – June 22, 2024
Opening reception Thursday, April 11 from 6-8pm
Amirah Chatman is a Black Queer Artist based in Portland, Oregon. She is an interdisciplinary artist focused on fabricating abstractions of natural elements and weather phenomena. These works manifest as chalk pastel drawings, oil paintings, fiber sculptures, murals, and light installations. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Chatman’s inspiration often stems from the imagery that they were raised on: dazzling sunsets, powerful monsoons, and an abundance of stars.
Artist Statement
My art serves as a tool to interpret my identity, experiences and the emotions that they evoke. I parallel these feelings with natural and celestial phenomena, abstracting their visual elements. I seek to raise awareness of the natural world alongside the human experience, inviting conversation around understanding our role in the natural universe.
