What Meaning Is Found Behind These Hidden Words?

The Writing is in the Air - Original Black - I of II by Deb Chaney (30” x 30”)
I’m thrilled to announce that a private art collector has added two of my paintings to their personal collection, The Writing is in the Air – Original Black – I and II.
The pair of paintings were sold to a gallery client who are in the process of renovating their new apartment. Thank you for choosing my artwork–and congratulations on making your home beautiful!
I would also like to extend my appreciation to Van Dop Gallery in New Westminster, with a big thank-you to Trudy Van Dop!

About these paintings
The Writing Is In The Air I and II are monochromatic abstract expressionist paintings that invite contemplation and interpretation. The colour palette is dominated by a muted gray background with smudges and strokes of black.
Each of the paintings in this series is an echo of my own personal spiritual learning and their inspiration was drawn from carefully chosen passages in a metaphysical book I was reading.
I begin with a 2B pencil and a large ruler to draw lines across my canvas. I then look to the book’s passage to dictate my colour choice. Using an ink dropper with the selected colour of ink, I scribe the writings into the canvas.
The words are not intended to be read, but they are applied to the canvas so that the energy they carry can be imbued into the painting.
After the words are down, I may add or remove layers or play around with dripping water, alcohol, and ink, to arrive at the final image. The final image is then sealed and finished with a final satin varnish. Each painting is wired on the back and ready for exhibit.
Both original mixed media on canvas paintings measure 30” x 30”.
I’d also like to share some behind-the-scenes photos of the paintings in my studio before they were shipped to Vancouver for client approval. Before I ship paintings I often repaint the edges and double check the Varnal varnish just in case it needs a touch-up.
The Writing Is In The Air Series
This series of medium-sized artworks consists of simple abstract paintings that are inspired by nondescript writings that melt into the canvas.
Each painting is an echo of my own personal spiritual learning. Imbued with wisdom and healing words, these paintings aim to elevate our collective consciousness.
