Chalon's artistic career took off when he began illustrating for prestigious publications such as "Ackermann's Repository" and "The Sporting Magazine." His reputation as an animal painter grew, and he soon became known for his remarkable ability to capture the essence of animals with stunning realism. Chalon's work was sought after by prominent figures of his time, including King George IV and William IV, for whom he painted hunting and racing scenes. His paintings often depicted horses, dogs, and other animals in action, evoking a sense of vitality and movement. In addition to his animal portraits, Chalon was also known for his atmospheric landscapes, often featuring dramatic skies and serene countryside scenes. He frequently exhibited at the Royal Academy, where his work was well-received by both critics and the public. Chalon's legacy lives on in his beautiful and evocative paintings, which continue to be admired and collected today. His ability to capture the spirit of animals and the beauty of nature makes him a cherished artist in the annals of art history.

The family mostly became sporting artists, his younger brothers Henry Thomas (Ben Tally Ho), George and Sefferien. Little is known about his life, in his father's will he was the only son mentioned, but this was to leave him 1s., which presumably was a derogatory legacy perhaps because, as Shaw Sparrow suggests, he traded on his father's name, signing in the same manner. However, as he often signed quite clearly S. Alken Jnr one feels it unlikely, but it does imply S. Alken Snr also painted sporting pictures.
