Western Australian expressionist artist Karen Chappelow showcases her new works in Heroes, Heroines and Bastards at Humble House Gallery from 26 August to 24 September.

A visual storyteller with over 20 years of experience, Chappelow takes viewers on a journey through myths and icons present in Western culture and storytelling. With a wicked sense of humour, feminist values and a soft spot for the underdog, the artist breaks down social barriers in fun and engaging works.

Believing myths and icons help to mould our culture, she says that if we want to change the way people think, then we need to foster that change by altering the stories we tell.

Chappelow has been sculpting and painting for more than 20 years. In recent times, she has exhibited in New York, Madrid, Luxembourg, Berlin, Rome and Malmo – Sweden, along with group shows in Perth and Melbourne as well as the “The Block” on Channel 9. Chappelow will also be appearing in this August’s edition of Home Design magazine.
