A distillation of a moment in my artistic past. From a time when I was a teenager in the 80s. The visual language that I was excited by then. Missoni and Ettore Sottsass mixed in with Agnes Martin and Ferdinand Leger. I wanted to create the sensation of a finished desirable object. The desire to own an object is something that fascinates me, there is something toothsome about it. The antique gold frame was my starting point. I love the warmth and patina of the antique gold against the playful smooth lines of the central shape and the pastel shades that evoke the 80s so well. Painting in chalk paint and acrylic mediums allows me to both build up thick, opaque, textured layers and to thin it down and apply in smooth satisfying glazes. The early stages of the painting are often quite meditative as feel the paint slip over the board. My paintings are an introspection into my visual life. I remember my life pictorially and I am trying to piece together what makes me me.

Artists statement I paint using my intuition, the shapes and forms are part of my internal visual library. Images collected from my earliest memories. With small sketches and cut outs to plan the composition I allow the colours to evolve to create a mood or feeling to each piece. Using acrylics, emulsion and chalk paints, I enjoy the sense of applying the paint, in an almost mediative way, finding the right curve or brush stroke to create the balance I am looking for. The images at the forefront of my focus at the moment are from my early days at art college in the 1980s. The playful, colourful imagery of post-modernism Richard Rodgers, Ettore Sottsass and the 'Memphis' collective, and Missoni. With a nod to the art books that were part of my childhood, Wassily Kandinsky, Ferdinand Leger, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and more recently discovered Agnes Martin. I am always fascinated by modernist paintings in galleries. The minimal shapes frequently framed in ornate traditional frames. I love the tension between these two, the final object being a fusion of two visual languages. I like to source old frames and give them a new life, painting an image specifically for that frame and creating a new and 'desirable' art object. My work is in private collections in the UK, the US and Canada. Maevaughn Chiu
