Chelsea Culprit’s work entangles representations of the body’s capacity for work, play, display, expression, the performed authenticity of identity, and the intractability of freedom and personal bondage. Moving freely between the pictorial imagery of folk art and the materiality of the real world, Culprit’s works are composed of feelings as much as descriptions. Working variously with painting, neon light, sculptural assemblage, and installation, her work uses a composite approach to translate the ideologies of female identity which are used to define the gender binary.

CHELSEA CULPRIT (b. 1984 in Paducah, KY) lives and works in Conesville, NY and  Mexico City, Mexico. Recent solo exhibitions include 

, Queer Thoughts at Maureen Paley, London, UK (2019);
