Deb Chaney's Artwork Featured in Saatchi Art's Vancouver City Spotlight

I am grateful to have some selected artwork included in this special feature of Vancouver artists on Saatchi Art's online gallery.

Saatchi Art recently launched its City Spotlight: Vancouver collection, a curated feature highlighting artists working in and around one of Canada's most vibrant creative communities.

Nestled between majestic mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver has long been a place where nature, creativity, innovation, and culture intersect. The city's artistic landscape is rich and diverse, and I am honoured to have several of my mixed media creations included alongside so many talented artists. I am grateful to have grown up in this beautiful city and love, love, love to visit!

You can view the full collection at Saatchi City Spotlight: Vancouver.

About Saatchi Art

For those unfamiliar with the platform, Saatchi Art is one of the world's leading online art marketplaces, connecting collectors with artists from around the globe. The platform provides opportunities for artists to share their work with an international audience while offering collectors access to thousands of original pieces, limited editions, and contemporary creators working across a wide variety of mediums and styles.

One of the things I appreciate most about Saatchi Art is its commitment to curatorial discovery. Their team regularly creates thoughtfully assembled collections that introduce collectors to emerging and established artists while highlighting regional creative communities.

I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Saatchi Art and their curatorial team for selecting my work for this feature. Being included in a collection that celebrates Vancouver's creative spirit is both meaningful and encouraging.

Featured Works

The selected pieces represent different moments in my creative journey and my ongoing exploration of well-being, transformation, and inner connection through colour, texture, and layered abstraction.

Each composition was created through an intuitive process that combines acrylic paint, texture, layering, and reflection. My hope is always that these visual expressions invite viewers into a moment of pause, presence, and possibility.

Other Artists Who Inspired Me in the Collection

One of the joys of being included in a curated feature is discovering the remarkable work of fellow artists. As I explored the Vancouver Spotlight collection, several pieces immediately caught my attention.

"Exhaust" by Claudine Gévry
This piece stopped me in my tracks. I was drawn to its energy, movement, and expressive quality. There is something beautifully alive and emotionally charged about it.

"Interior Scene (Living Room in Blue, Green, Yellow and Grey)" by Nicole Durocher
I love the colour relationships and sense of atmosphere in this work. The composition feels both inviting and sophisticated, creating a space I want to step into and explore.

"Smoulder/Smother" by Katherine Duclos
This piece captivated me with its depth, mood, and layered visual language. The subtle complexities reveal themselves slowly, rewarding a longer look.

I always find it inspiring to see the unique ways artists interpret their experiences, observations, and inner worlds. Collections like this remind me how diverse, expansive, and exciting contemporary art can be.

A Celebration of Vancouver's Creative Community

Being part of this Vancouver Spotlight feature feels like a celebration of the incredible artistic talent that exists throughout British Columbia and beyond. Art has a unique ability to connect us across geography, culture, and experience, and I am grateful to share space with so many inspiring creators.

Thank you again to the Saatchi Art team for this recognition and for supporting artists through thoughtful curation and global visibility.

And thank you to everyone who continues to follow, collect, share, and support my creative journey. Your encouragement makes it possible for me to continue creating work that explores well-being, authenticity, and the transformative power of art.

About the painting

Red Red Wine is an 8" × 8" original acrylic and mixed media painting on canvas. Small in scale but bold in presence, it works beautifully as a standalone collector piece or within a curated wall grouping. The painting is also available as a large-scale reproduction print for collectors interested in a larger format.

About the Love Is Love Series

Red Red Wine belongs to my Love Is Love series—a collection of mixed media paintings built through a rhythmic grid of colour-filled squares. Created from a place of ease and playful creative flow, each artwork explores the pleasure found in bringing many small parts into a relationship—like a visual game where chaos slowly finds its own order.

Using layers of acrylic paint, gel mediums, pencil, spray paint, pastels, gelatos, coffee, cotton fabric, and paint pens, the surfaces hold both energy and warmth. Each square carries its own mood and movement, while together they form a vibrant, connected whole. The process is intuitive and relaxing, allowing colour, texture, and pattern to guide the way.

Occasionally, a simple heart appears as a quiet gesture of love and inclusion—a reminder of the joy that initiated the series—though many works rely solely on colour and structure. These paintings are playful and exuberant, inviting lightness, presence, and delight through bold colour. The result is an uplifting body of work designed to bring warmth and visual energy into a home or collection.

Collect the Original or a Print

The recognition of being featured in New This Week is a reminder of why I continue to develop my body of work. I hope Red Red Wine finds the right collector and the right wall.

The painting is available now through Saatchi Art as an original painting or as a large-scale reproduction print. If you've been considering adding an original Canadian artwork to your collection, this is a good moment to do so.
