Full exhibition history and bibliography available upon request.

Chati Coronel (b. 1970, Manila; lives and works in Toronto) is a Filipino‑Canadian painter whose three‑decade practice probes the liminal territory between body and cosmos through a method she calls Figurative Spatialism. Layering atmospheric fields of colour within human silhouettes, Coronel treats the figure as a vessel through which metaphysical forces materialise. Her work has been the subject of more than twenty solo exhibitions and has appeared at Art Basel Hong Kong, Frieze Seoul, and The Armory Show, New York. Coronel’s paintings are held in private and corporate collections across Asia and North America. Guided by cosmological inquiry, she wields painting to recast primal myth as a blueprint for possible futures. Coronel is represented by Silverlens Galleries.
