Artist Laura Chasman and BMAC Director of Exhibitions Sarah Freeman discuss the exhibition Here Today, Gone Tomorrow.
In this body of work, Chasman captures fleeting moments observed at art fairs over the years in paintings executed on FedEx shipping boxes. With quickly rendered brushstrokes, Chasman shows us the art dealers at work, the visitors with glazed expressions, the endless waiting and watching, and of course the art. Each scene is a snapshot in time, preserving a moment that is quickly lost in the business of selling art.
Chasman grew up in Brooklyn, New York. She is a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University and Smith College School of Social Work. She worked as a psychotherapist and geriatric social worker, and at times her clinical experience inspired her work as a painter of people. Her portraits were included in two Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition exhibitions at the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery. She received the Maud Morgan Prize, with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and received a Fellowship in Painting from the Massachusetts Cultural Council. Her work is in collections at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; New Britain Museum of American Art; Fidelity Investments; Simmons College; the Boston Public Library; Brigham and Women’s Hospital; and Smith College Museum of Art.
