Fresh Arts

<blockquote><h2 dir="ltr">I am a British-American multi-disciplinary artist born in Chertsey, United Kingdom. I was raised in The Hague in The Netherlands, Stavanger in Norway, and New Orleans, Louisiana. I traveled the world, before finally settling down in Houston, Texas 10 years ago.&nbsp;</h2><h2 dir="ltr">I was awarded a scholarship to study at Houston Baptist University and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Arts. Before my Masters, I graduated with a Bachelor of Studio Art in Painting from The University of Houston. Since then, I have dedicated my time to being a full-time artist and Professor of Visual Arts.&nbsp;</h2><h2 dir="ltr">Using my mediums of mixed-media painting, installation spaces, assemblage sculptures, photography, 3D printing technology, and fashion design I explore my experience with mental health, addiction, and domestic violence. I tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction.</h2><h2 dir="ltr">In addition, I bring awareness to the rampant occurrence of violence against women and human trafficking, which I have experienced first-hand. Lingering in my work, I suggest a deeply spiritual and scientific undertone within the painful situations I describe.</h2><h2 dir="ltr">I have exhibited my work worldwide, for instance, I have exhibited my art in M&ouml;nchskirche Salzwedel Germany, and London, UK. Recently, in 2021, I exhibited in an international exhibition named &quot;Ex-Libris&quot; at Redbud Gallery in Houston, Texas. In 2019 I was accepted into the Artist in Residency program in Splendora Gardens, Splendora Texas. Whilst working in London, UK I was represented by 15FiftyOne Group.&nbsp;</h2><h2 dir="ltr">Currently, film director, Jeff Faulkinburry (PostPunk Films) is filming a documentary specifically about my art, message, and life story. In addition, my psychosis-inducing installation &ldquo;Mental Institution Museum&rdquo; (or &ldquo;MEM&rdquo;) has been featured in Christopher Wilson&rsquo;s new music video, also filmed by Jeff Faulkinburry. If all goes to plan, I will be featured in Paper City Magazine and Memorial Lifestyle Magazine within the year.</h2><h2 dir="ltr">Through applying for amnesty through the Violence Against Women Act, I live and work as a naturalized U.S Citizen calling Houston, Texas USA my &ldquo;forever home&rdquo;.&nbsp;</h2><h2 dir="ltr">Find out more about me&nbsp;at: www.chloeartstudio.com</h2><h2 dir="ltr" style="text-align: right;">Updated: 21/9/2021</h2></blockquote>&nbsp;Artist&#39;s StatementMy art collides with the spiritual glitch in the matrix of the mind.&nbsp; This is where I am working and what I am influenced by. As an artist, I enjoy the mystery of the veiled, to take the viewer on an unknown journey to expose a truth that is hard to swallow. Mental health and addiction is a place where compassion should breed and I intend to help birth it through my art. Using paint, objects, and spaces I design an atmosphere that objectifies mental illness and addiction as crude, colorful, emotional, and in-your-face. It makes you look at itself as a breathing monster, that is alive in today&rsquo;s society. My work demands the viewer to think about their own and other people&rsquo;s mental health and behavior. My work asks the viewer &ldquo;Are you happy?&rdquo;. The point of my work is to help others understand mental illness and addiction. Whether you relate or don&rsquo;t, understanding it is important because it is all around you. Denying it makes the world&rsquo;s problem worse. In this universe of cell phones and solitude, we must connect. Through my artwork, I hope to connect people to information and feelings that bring people together in a conversation about mental health and addiction. With a human connection in mind, my goal is it breeds compassion and understanding.&nbsp;My work meetsthe spiritual glitch in the matrix.&nbsp;Cellular neurology&nbsp;contemplating molecular structures in psychiatry,&nbsp;and&nbsp;ferocious abusive monsters&nbsp;eating your soul;&nbsp;You will fear for your sanity.A painterly universe from heaven and hell,&nbsp;all in the same earthly realm.&nbsp;Psych meds required to comprehend&nbsp;the fusion and confusion&nbsp;in my artwork.
