How many stars do you see in this painting?

/

This post is to announce that one of my original abstract paintings is available for sale along with high-quality prints in various sizes. The painting is titled The Universe is Your Sanctuary ii. 

This contemporary abstract painting is the second in my series of 3 paintings under this title. I talked about the first painting, The Universe is Your Sanctuary i, in a post last summer and I feel like it’s a good time for a follow-up.

How I chose the title of this painting

The painting evokes not only the depths of space, but the tranquility found within its vast quietude. It is a beautiful, wonderous place to feel safe and secure.

About this painting

Looking at the painting is like peering deep into space–as though looking through the Hubble Telescope. With mesmerizing galactic vibes, a feeling of celestial wonder and the massiveness of space radiates from the canvas. 

Stencils of sacred geometry repeat across the painting’s central expanse of black like a galaxy full of stars. The striking black-and-white composition is layered with bright teal and magenta. The harmonious colours evoke the serenity and tranquility of celestial bodies and the infiniteness of the universe.

The series of 3 paintings work well on their own or as a set and are perfect for a space where you want to ignite your imagination. A contemplative piece, the contemporary abstract artwork invites thoughtful introspection. 

This one-of-a-kind artwork is acrylic on canvas and measures 9” x 12”. 

This little painting is part of my Little Gems Series, which I use for testing new techniques and practicing old ones. While the original has been sold, prints in a variety of sizes and canvases are available through Saatchi Art online.

All You Need to Know About The Alchemists Art Show

/

Can The Process of Alchemy be Beautiful? by Deb Chaney (36” x 36”)

This post is to announce that my artwork is part of a group exhibit that launches this week and runs right up until just before Christmas. The Alchemists Group Exhibit opens tomorrow (November 8th) and is being held at The Artful Gallery in Courtenay, British Columbia.

About My Painting

The abstract painting I have in the art exhibit is titled Can The Process of Alchemy be Beautiful? It measures 36" x 36" and is mixed media on wood panel.

The heavily textured painting is a mix of blues and gold with sacred geometry repeated across the canvas with stencils of the Flower of Life.

About The Alchemists Group Exhibit

What is alchemy?

Rooted in the Arabian al-kimia (stone preparation) and Greek chemeia (metal pouring), alchemy is considered the origin of modern chemistry. Medieval alchemists sought to turn metals into gold and concoct an elixir for eternal youth, giving them a reputation for magic and the occult.

But modern alchemy is more about transformation and creation in artistic, philosophical, spiritual, or psychological terms. The quest for spiritual enlightenment, harmony, and self-awareness by liberating oneself from beliefs, opinions, traumas, and fears. In this sense, it is a metaphor for a spiritual or psychological rebirth. As you may know, this is a large component of my artwork, so this art show feels very fitting.

Here are all of the essential details about the show:

Exhibit open: Wednesday, November 8, 2023, from 12 pm to 5 pm

Artists’ reception: Friday, November 10, from 7 pm to 9 pm

Exhibit hours: Wednesday to Saturday, 12 pm to 5 pm (regular gallery hours)

Exhibit end date: Saturday, December 23.

The Artful Gallery: 526C Cumberland Rd, Courtenay, BC

New Original Artwork "Yearning Warmth and Light"

/

Yearning Warmth and Light by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to announce and celebrate finishing a new abstract painting. Yearning Warmth and Light has recently become available for sale on Saatchi Art. You can currently still purchase the original painting or choose to order high-quality prints in a variety of sizes.

About This Painting

This is the second of the 3 spiritually-inspired paintings that I mentioned in last week’s post. recently created. The newly created small paintings are the result of my trying to figure out how to go about creating my new large-scale Drishti Painting Series. These small practice pieces have helped me work out how to integrate sacred geometry marks using textures and layers.

Whereas the first painting last week, Turn the Lights On, was a canvas full of vivid pinks, Yearning Warmth and Light is a verdurous palette of greens and blues. Viridescent layers of olive, emerald, and lime greens combine with aquamarine, light blues, and splashes of white.

Textured sacred geometry is repeated up and down and across the canvas with stencils of the Flower of Life, creating movement and depth, as though the canvas itself has been cut away.

The choice of gentle greens and blues is intended to create a sense of calm and be a nourishing, grounding influence.

This contemporary mixed-media painting is part of my Little Gems Series.

Turn The Lights On by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate the completion of a new abstract artwork. Turn The Lights On is now available for sale on Saatchi Art. You can currently buy the original painting or high-quality prints in a variety of sizes.

About This Painting

Fresh out of the studio, this is one of 3 new spiritually inspired artworks that I recently created. The small paintings were inspired by the process of figuring out how to create my new large-scale Drishti Painting Series. I have been using these small practice pieces to work out the integration of sacred geometry marks using textures and layers.

A gamut of vivid pinks, including magenta, rose, and salmon, are spotted with dimples of yellow and gold, while textured layers of sacred geometry create mesmerizing depths to lead your eye around the canvas.

Concentric circles and stencils of the Flower of Life are repeated across the canvas on multiple layers, floating above light yellows, blues, and whites far in the background.

The bright pinks are uplifting and exuberant in creating this loving, heartfelt piece of art. This contemporary mixed media painting is part of my Little Gems Series.

The Universe is Your Sanctuary i

The Universe is Your Sanctuary i by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

This post is to celebrate my newly completed original artwork, The Universe is Your Sanctuary i. The original painting is available for purchase online through Saatchi Art. High-quality prints are also available for your collection.

About This Painting

This painting is the first in a series of 3 paintings that are part of my larger series, known as my Little Gems Series. These paintings are my practice pieces, small artworks that I use to explore new methods and ideas and practice old ones.

Each piece of artwork that becomes a Little Gem is infused with the joy, love, and passion I feel in the studio. That energy is imbued into the painting and is my gift to you, the collector!

The 9” x 12” painting is acrylic on loose canvas.

At first glance, it’s like looking into deep space through the Hubble telescope, as the painting exudes a sense of cosmic energy and celestial wonder. Sacred geometry intermingles with stars against a striking black-and-white composition layered with splashes of rich blues, teals, and magenta, conjuring the depths of the universe. Together the colours create a harmonious symphony of tones to evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility.

Evoking the vastness of the universe, the abstract artwork invites contemplation and introspection. It would particularly make a great addition to any room where you’re looking to ignite your imagination.
