ANGELA CHAUVIN
Recent Studio Paintings
Angela Chauvin paints in-situ to explore the translation of direct human observations through paint.
She has worked with the science of flow states and meditative approaches to observational work. Chauvin is interested in how these different states of consciousness allow her to use colour and the paint medium to mark a synaesthetic translation of her experience.
In these recent works Angela Chauvin has been particularly enjoying elements in the work that emerge from the conditions of working in situ, such as the fluency of expression afforded by the sketched line, and the condensation of time marked in paint with the changing of the light.
This collection of recent paintings was made in-situ across three studio locations: a studio above the Tinpot cafe; the VCA stables; and RMIT’s postgraduate studio space repurposed from the Gossard lingerie factory.
Sharing the work is an important part of the creative process to Angela Chauvin, where one collectively explores the metaphysical and communicative consequences of marking the immediate material experience.
