Alfred C.J. Chabilan
Welcome to the art of Alfred C.J. Chabilan.
A distant world that taps into the quiet chaos of modern life, featuring a cast of animals and creatures that act as playful yet poignant reflections of our emotions. In our lands full of noise and pressure, these characters navigate the stillness in collapse of today we all know too well.
Through the occasional use of old vehicles and empty buildings, Chabilan symbolises power and success that, upon closer look, also represents our blind pursuit of control. These machines, alongside the artist’s fantastical creatures and vast landscapes, show the contradictions of our desires and beauty mixed with destruction. A dance between nostalgia and critique, humor and truth.
Ultimately, Chabilan’s art doesn’t offer answers… he just invites us to sit with the mess, the chaos, and the slow burn of it all. They’re a reminder that we’re not alone in discomfort, and that sometimes, even the most mythical creatures are just trying to keep going, too.
