He has participated in many group exhibitions in various galleries in France and abroad: Paris, Brussels, San Francisco, Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles, Atlanta, in Louisiana, Ivory Coast, Enghien Bains, and with the principal Parisian salons. In addition to the Léadouze galleries of Cannes and Paris and Hénot d' Enghien les Bains where his works are presented permanently, Chapaud is also exhibited in Metz, Luxembourg, Brussels and Chicago.
What surprises when one discovers the works of Chapaud, is their simultaneous power, sensitivity and their technical virtuosity. Marc Chapaud became one of the leaders of the French realism school, thanks to his exceptional pictorial technique related to very beautiful “glacis” (French term meaning “smoothness” or “glossiness.”) The juxtaposition of architecture with water as one finds in rs, flood of silver-plated light, and his signature colors such as the translucent blues engage the eye and demand admiration. Chapaud conveys in his landscapes a calm power with the sensitivity of a romantic poet. He captivates us because his art engages us to divine the sublime and transcendent from an otherwise mundane and realistically portrayed scene. Marc Chapaud involves us in his vision of the world filled with softness and serenity.
Technical Virtuosity and the Profound Landscape. The love of architecture conveyed in his work is seen in the multitude of variations of light of the sun on stone. Witness of his time like the masters of the past, this Canaletto of the 20th and 21st centuries is a favorite of collectors. --Arts Magazine Monte Carlo 2000
Landscapes of light. It is undoubtedly initially the light which holds the attention of those who discover a work by Chapaud. A very particular luminosity made perceptible by a perfect pictorial technique.

Marc Chapaud, Poetic Technician. The reality of the things is never really real when it is about painting… If the work of Marc Chapaud, can be described as realism, he expresses all qualities of it, without being ensnared in the traps with which it can bind him. What surprises, when one discovers his landscapes of ns and set free his sensitivity. Thanks to his technique, Marc’s impulses are merely tempered and controlled never stifled. He is its master. To have the possibility of forgetting the constraints of an art allows him to devote himself entirely to its power of evocation, and to have free reign with his enthusiasms and his whims. It is the ability of having a sure footing, without thinking of it, in order to devote himself to transpose the poetry contained in each nuance, each light, each detail. Our contemplation of the work of the painter can then find all its pleasure there, without having recourse to an analytical or intellectual observation. Only the best can do that with such pure grace. The work of Marc Chapaud is a living testimony. Internationally recognized, he is obviously placed as one of the leaders of the French realism school. His landscapes will be cherished by art enthusiasts and collectors alike for centuries, a timeless pictorial heritage, because his vision is timeless.
