About the Item
“Akhenaten Series: The Marriage” is a captivating 1987 mixed-media oil and collage painting by renowned Colorado artist Dale Chisman (1943–2008). Part of Chisman’s acclaimed Akhenaten Series, this powerful artwork features a bold black, white, and red color palette symbolizing complex themes of love, power, and identity. The piece draws inspiration from the legendary Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten and Queen Nefertiti, capturing their historic union through a modern abstract expressionist lens.
Executed on wrapped canvas with finished edges extending onto a wood panel, this dynamic composition showcases Chisman’s innovative fusion of oil painting and collage. The artist’s signature appears in the lower left corner, with additional inscriptions on the verso confirming title, signature, and date — authenticating this unique work. The wrapped sides create a sleek, gallery-ready finish, with custom framing available upon request.
About Dale Chisman
the Akhenaten Series
Dale Chisman, a leading figure in Colorado abstract expressionism, created the Akhenaten Series to explore themes of Egyptian history, spirituality, and royal love through vivid colors and mixed media. His work pushes the boundaries of contemporary art, blending symbolism with powerful emotional narratives. Notably, the series includes pieces like Akhenaten’s Dream 3, featured in his 2010 retrospective, Dale Chisman: In Retrospect.
Akhenaten, famed for introducing monotheism centered on the sun god Aten, dramatically reshaped Egyptian religious life. This painting reflects the historic and spiritual significance of his marriage to Queen Nefertiti, his co-regent and partner in power.
Artist Legacy
Chisman earned his BFA and MFA from the University of Colorado Boulder and spent 15 years in New York, gaining national recognition. Returning to Colorado, he was instrumental in founding the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, significantly shaping the regional art scene. His career is celebrated for advancing American abstract expressionism through bold, innovative works like this.
This striking piece from Chisman’s Akhenaten Series is an exceptional addition to any fine art collection, offering a timeless fusion of ancient history and modern abstraction.
