September Cover of Beyond Words featuring Keep It Real by Deb Chaney
I am thrilled to share that my abstract painting Keep It Real was selected as the covert art for the September issue of Beyond Words Magzine.
Based in Germany, but published in English, Beyond Words is an international magazine of literature and art. They feature carefully selected visual artworks (such as wonderful cover art!) and literary pieces and offer a stage for unique creatives and emerging talents. The magazine is published monthly in both print and digital formats.
About This Painting
You may recognize Keep It Real from a blog post last summer when it was featured in the Free Spirit Art Gallery here on Gabriola Island.
The painting is part of my Fragments of Life series of abstract paintings. The series is about how we tend to morph and fragment ourselves as a means to survive the challenges and trauma we experienced growing up. We become different people, doing what we have to in order to meet our needs.
The series is a healing journey about reclaiming those lost parts of ourselves – our fragments.
Each painting in the series represents a lesson from my spiritual journey. The painting process always helps me stay in the present moment – keeping with what’s real – and embracing, accepting, and loving it. We do this with the knowledge that we have the power and capacity to transform into the next version of ourselves.
The painting is an acrylic mixed media collage on 300-pound cold press watercolour paper mounted on wood panel, measuring 23” x 30” x 1.5”.
