Chambliss Giobbi is an artist based in New York City. He has a BFA in Music Composition and Theory from Boston University. Having composed classical music for 18 years, he switched to visual art at age 35. As a composer, he has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, NYSCA, and The Guggenheim Foundation, and performances/commissions by the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra, Warsaw Philharmonic, and American Composers Orchestra, among others. His transition from music composition to visual art was challenging but inevitable.
For the past 25 years, Chambliss has worked in collage, sculpture, mixed media, and currently melted children’s crayons. He has exhibited at galleries and institutions in the United States and internationally, including Venus Over Manhattan, (New York City), Fortnight Institute, (New York City), Hallwalls, (Buffalo, New York), National Academy Museum, (New York City), Artists Space, (New York City), National Portrait Gallery, (Washington, DC), among others. Chambliss supports himself and his family as a voiceover artist for television and radio.
