Ed Chapman (born 1971), is a British artist known for his mosaics. He is the son of artist Margaret Chapman [1] and lives in Manchester.
Chapman became a professional artist in 2001.[1] His work has sold in more than 20 countries,[2] and been exhibited in galleries such as Cat Street Galleries in Hong Kong and Villa del Arte in Barcelona.[1]
Among his mosaics are portraits of Alan Sugar (done in sugar cubes)[3] and Eric Cantona.[4] Lemmy, the founding member of Motörhead, is among the clients who have commissioned a work by him.[1] In April 2011, Chapman's mosaic of Jimi Hendrix, made of 5000 guitar picks was auctioned for £23,000, with proceeds going to Cancer Research UK.[5]
