Chapline graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design, recognized as one of the most prestigious and highest ranking art academies in the United States. Soon gaining acclaim for his first solo exhibition “Material Memory” held at his mother gallery The HOLE (New York) in 2018, he continues to receive much attention and anticipation as one of the new generation of artists actively employing digital technology.

In the context of Chapline’s work, the word “rendering” extends beyond the framework of computer language to be used as an art term. From the shape of the objects, to the perspectives from which they are captured, the texture of their surfaces, the light source and shading, Chapline simulates all physical elements necessary for the production of his paintings in advance on a computer screen using a 3D program.

Such production method seems to be in denial of the classic art historical myth that describes the painter’s eyes as being nurtured through the act of sketching. Interestingly however, Chapline studies the masterpieces of artists such as Cézanne, Picasso, Fernand Léger, Matisse, Max Beckman, Philip Guston, Thomas Hart Benton, Alexander Archipenko, and Henri Laurens and engages in depicting numerous works that attempt to mimic and reinterpret them through his own distinctive style. For Chapline, who is a part of a digital generation that is able to use a mouse as one would do so a pencil, it is a natural conclusion for 3D screens visualized through programs to also illustrate an array of inconsistencies likewise to natural human vision.

Chapline畢業於羅德島設計學院，該學院被公認為美國最負盛名、排名最高的藝術學院之一。 2018年，他在紐約畫廊The HOLE舉辦的首次個展《物質記憶》很快獲得好評，作為積極運用數字技術的新一代藝術家之一，他繼續受到廣泛關注和期待。

在Chapline的作品中，「渲染」一詞超越了計算機語言的框架，成為了一個藝術術語。 從物體的形狀、捕捉角度、表面紋理、光源和陰影，Chapline使用 3D 程序在計算機屏幕上提前模擬了創作繪畫所需的所有物理元素。

這種製作方法似乎否定了經典的藝術史神話，即畫家的眼睛是通過素描行為來培育的。 然而有趣的是，Chapline 研究了塞尚、畢加索、費爾南·雷捷、馬蒂斯、馬克斯·貝克曼、菲利普·古斯頓、托馬斯·哈特·本頓、亞歷山大・阿爾基邊克和亨利·勞倫斯等藝術家的傑作，並參與描繪了許多試圖模仿和重新詮釋這些作品的作品。他自己獨特的風格。 對於 Chapline 來說，他是能夠像使用鉛筆一樣使用鼠標的數字世代的一員，對於通過程序可視化的 3D 屏幕來說明與人類自然視覺類似的不一致之處，是一個再自然不過的結論。
