Chapman's early output was influenced by his training at Byam Shaw Art School and his founding membership of the Nineteen Thirties Group. Solo exhibitions of his figurative paintings included Storran Gallery, London in 1950 and 1953. By the late 1950's Chapman was fully engaged in the exploration of abstract art and his 1960 exhibition at New Vision Centre Gallery led him to shows in Paris and Galerie Walcheturm in Zurich, now one of the oldest established galleries in Europe and renowned for its cutting edge approach.
