Chloe Chiasson is a New York-based artist whose artistic practice explores themes of self-expression and queer being. Born in Port Neches, Texas in 1993, she draws on her memories of her childhood, deconstructing and reconstructing cultural norms around gender and sexuality in small-town American life.
Chiasson received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art in 2019. While at the NYAA, she was awarded the Belle Aries Residency and the Chubb Post-Graduate Fellowship.
Chiasson’s work is alive with symbology, autobiography, dissonances, and resonances, allowing space for larger themes that reflect the varied theatre of queer life. By juxtaposing images from different periods and finding unexpected resonances within these disparate moments, she challenges the viewer to consider a rewritten narrative.
In 2023, Chiasson was awarded the prestigious Fountainhead residency and presented her first solo institutional exhibition at Dallas Contemporary. Entitled Keep Left at the Fork, this presentation brought together the largest body of work by the artist to date.
Previous solos include Bird on a Wire at UTA Artist Space in Los Angeles and Fast Hearts and Slow Towns at Albertz Benda in New York, both in 2022, and Glory Days at Southern Guild New York in 2026. Chiasson has participated in group exhibitions at the Green Family Art Foundation (Dallas), Muskegon Museum of Art (Michigan), the FLAG Art Foundation (New York), Kunstraum Potsdam Museum (Germany) and galleries across the US, London, and Hong Kong.
Her work is in the collections of the Contemporary Art Foundation in Japan, the Bunker Artspace in Miami, and the Hort Family Collection in New York. Her work has been featured in publications like Artsy, The Brooklyn Rail, Hyperallergic, Juxtapose, Artnet news and New American Paintings.
