Dominic Chambers ’16 (M.F.A. Yale ’19) creates vibrant paintings that simultaneously engage art historical models and contemporary concerns around race, identity and, most recently, the necessity for leisure and reflection – acts he believes the Black body has been imagined, and depicted, as incapable of.

This retrospective explores not only Chambers’ intellectual and creative trajectory but also the mentorship that has nurtured his creative impulses and intrigue – his “shadow companions.”
