2 of My Original Paintings Featured in “Fresh” Movie on Hulu
/
Fragments of Life #19 by Deb Chaney (23 x 30)
With so much going on to get ready for the Gabriola Art Studio Tour next week, this is a good time to mention 2 of the other paintings featured in the movie Fresh that is currently streaming on Hulu. The paintings are called Fragments of Life #19 and Fragments of Life #24.
Wikipedia classifies the movie as a “black comedy horror thriller”, which may not be my favourite genre, but it certainly seems to be a popular one. If you’re interested in a sneak peek, there’s a preview video in an earlier post from May when I wrote about Subtle Shift, another painting of mine that is also featured in the film.
About the Paintings
The paintings are both part of my Fragments of Life series, which explores pure abstract expression using a limited colour palette of heavy body and liquid (thick and thin) acrylics, as well as other materials such as charcoal, conte, and pencil. To these, I add the fragments of everyday life – photographs, papers, maps, song lyrics – anything that makes an impression on my life that day.
Both of these paintings are the same size (so, they make a nice set!), measuring 23” x 30”, and are mixed media and acrylics on 300-pound cold press watercolour paper. They’re mounted on custom wood panels that are wired, varnished, and ready to hang.
If you’d like to see how nice of a set they make, they’re hanging vertically together on the living room wall, right around the 1-hour mark in Fresh.

Of course, their availability will depend on whether they’re bought during the studio tour.
If somebody buys these 2 particular paintings during the tour, you can order prints for each painting through Saatchi Art using the links above.
