Stephen Chambers studied at Winchester
School of Art from 1978 to 1979 and then at St Martin's School of Art from 1979
to 1982.
He graduated with a Masters from
Chelsea School of Art in 1983. Chambers won many scholarships and awards,
including a Rome Scholarship, a Fellowship at Winchester School of Art, and a
Mark Rothko Memorial Trust Travelling Award.
Recently, he has collaborated on three
dance projects with the Royal Ballet: Sleeping with Audrey (1996), Room of
Cooks (1997, 1999) and This House Will Burn (2001). According to the artist,
his work 'speaks of states of mind, behaviours and sensibilities.' Critics have
praised Chamber's use of colour and his painterly exploration of his medium.
