Many of Chapman’s works combine a surrealist vision with a very Native American sense of humor. Often, his compositions feature a window that seems to float in space and looks out into a forest. In some instances, there are otherworldly creatures that stare back through the glass and confront the viewer in a very unsettling manner. In Deer Departed, Chapman has outlined a deer head in the broken window and makes a pun out of the title.
