Jacky Winter is pleased to present Sainthood by Eirian Chapman. In her first solo exhibition, Eirian will showcase large-scale print tapestries of female saints across four elements: land, sea, sky and space. These will be contrasted with a number of smaller prints depicting the icons of the four patron saints Chapman deems worthy of emulation and veneration. Referencing religious iconography and traditional woven wall hangings, she portrays her women as mythological creatures in a contemporary setting - the patron saints of Shiny Things, Drunken Sailors, Interstellar Tennis and Suburban Jungles.

Eirian Chapman is a Melbourne-based artist and graphic designer. Chapman studied a Bachelor of Communication Design (Hons) at RMIT University, Melbourne.
