Albert Chamillard

Albert Chamillard was born in Attleboro, Massachusetts in 1971.

He moved to Tucson in 1994 and has been a part of it’s art scene ever since. In the late 90’s, Albert cofounded Carbonbase Gallery and Studios, a student-run space in Dunbar Spring. He worked for Eric Firestone Gallery from 2007 to 2012, and founded Atlas Fine Art Services in 2011 and held exhibitions there until 2014. He’s been a preparator at the UA Museum of Art since 2019.

Since getting my BFA in Studio Art in 2003, I’ve been an active exhibiting artist and have shown my work nationally. My most recent exhibition was a solo show at Etherton Gallery in 2023, and I’ve been a freelance artist for Hermés since 2020.

Albert’s work is primarily small scale drawings that are comprised of layers of cross-hatched marks which create textile-like surfaces, and deal with concepts of memory, family, the natural world and ways language affects and interferes with our perceptions of our world. Albert Chamillard has exhibited work nationally and locally at Etherton, Paradigm and Pulp Galleries.
