Biography of Chester Arnold

Chester Arnold was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1952. 

In 2008, the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art recognized Arnold's talent by showcasing his art, along with other recipients of the 2005 Eureka Fellowship. This marked the beginning of a series of exhibitions and accolades that would shape his career.

In 2010, the Nevada Museum of Art presented a solo exhibition titled "On Earth as It Is in Heaven," accompanied by a comprehensive catalogue. This exhibit allowed audiences to immerse themselves in Arnold's thought-provoking work and gain a deeper understanding of his artistic vision.

Chester Arnold's journey continued with solo exhibitions at prestigious venues like the American University Museum, Katzen Art Center in Washington, D.C., and the Sonoma County Museum in California. Each of these shows offered a fresh perspective on his evolving artistry and the evolution of his themes.

One of the milestones in Arnold's career came in 2017 when Kelly’s Cove Press published a monograph titled "Evidence: Painting by Chester Arnold 1989 – 2017." This publication not only celebrated his work but also provided an extensive overview of his artistic evolution over almost three decades.

Currently, the artist Arnold resides in Sonoma, California. He is represented by Catharine Clark Gallery since 2003.
