BIWT i 36 W x 24 H x 0.5 D in mixed media, collage, spray paint on Canvas (c) Deb Chaney 2021

As we continue the experience of the world wide pandemic unexpectedly into its second year the majority of us are in the situation of nowhere to go, not much to do. For artists, this is ideal for creative production and I found myself handling the inability to make travel plans as my ability to go inward and to make art, more art and even more art.

One of my teachers would say that going into her studio and making art was her way of running away from home without really leaving. I love this!

Making art means that I get to dive into unknown world of layers of spray paint, collage, paint gestures, layers of translucent mediums and nobody can stop me! I get to create!

This painting called BIWT stands for ‘ Because I Want To’ and created in series at the time when the quarantine was the most intense.

It is really and truly stands for the power of creative process and how it can be the healthiest and most beautiful way to handle stress, challenges and tragedy.

Angry, frustrated, or fed up with the current situation? Then why no make art about it ? That is how I choose to move forward. My art statement for this painting is the transformative quality of being in creative process and how we can turn challenging emotions into beautiful creations.

This painting is available for your collection and you can purchase it here online at Saatchi Art Gallery.

I’d like to thank the interior designers who chose to purchase over thirty painting reproductions of my dyptic paintings; ‘Little Touch of Heaven I and II' . These pieces were created using gold, yellow, ochre and turquoise colours, stained tissue paper for texture. They are original one of a kind mixed media abstract contemporary modern paintings each with many layers and etchings showing under layers. These paintings were created as a diptych using acrylic paints, tissue paper, pencil and gold leaf on board.

Little Touch of Heaven I and II paintings were painted using the dominant earthy yellow colour which is known to instil optimism, enthusiasm, joy, wisdom, and intellect. Yellow is also thought to support our will, concentration, logic, and memory. The secondary colour chosen for these pieces was turquoise which is noted to support spiritual grounding, tranquility, patience, and intuition.

The original paintings are available for your collection at the date of this post! Each are 10” x !0” Mixed Media on board.
