Chelsea Davine
For her inviting abstract paintings and mixed media works, contemporary artist Chelsea Davine draws inspiration from the landscapes around her as well as the unheralded details of daily life in Spain. The shoreline near her studio in Barcelona, the range of colors in the piles of leaves on the ground at a local park, the dazzling show that the sky puts on in the morning and in the early evening hours — nature’s colors and the outdoors have indeed greatly impacted Davine’s work over the years.
Born in London in 1971, Davine studied at the Chelsea School of Art (now Chelsea College of Arts) from 1991 to 1992 before earning her degree in fine art from Middlesex University in 1995. While at Middlesex, she attended a three-month Erasmus sculpture program at the University of Valencia.
After her studies had concluded, Davine moved to Barcelona in 1998 where she was charmed by the city’s cultural dynamism, color and life. The country’s capital also came to influence her work. “In London, I used concrete and gray,” she said. “In Barcelona, I use steel, red and gold.”
Davine initially spent time creating bespoke furniture in wood and steel and working on interior design projects through her interiors/design studio, Milk, which she founded in 2006. In 2009, she debuted a selection of paintings, sculpture and photography at her first solo show at the Tasneem Gallery in Barcelona. The exhibition yielded commissions from local architects and a range of international clients.
Davine’s abstract, figurative paintings and landscape paintings have depth and reference her roots in sculpture — they offer a three-dimensional effect that materializes owing to the works’ layers of textures and rich colors. Her signature use of copper leaf, gold leaf and oil on steel or canvas is seen in many of her most recent pieces such as Archipelago, Pink Meridian and Horizon in Silver Steel.
Throughout her career, Davine has shown her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Europe, Asia and North America.

- Neucleus - 21st Century, Contemporary Art, Abstract, Oil Painting, Spray PaintBy Scott NaismithLocated in Barcelona, Catalonia"My recent work now becomes more involved with cloud cover and its effect on light and colour through both its translucent and opaque properties. Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or frozen ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They have the ability to refract and reflect, creating an ever changing perception of light which inspires my use of colour. I am constantly referring to the paradox of a cloud’s perceived weight and its fragility and the relationship between the cool and warm colours created by it. I have become increasingly interested in catching the moment when heavy overcast clears to reveal clear blue sky, a cool colour that complements the warmth it brings. While the most obvious manifestation of light refraction at this time would occur in the form of a rainbow, I will be concerned with accentuating the infinite, more subtle effects. I find myself inspired increasingly by the works of Turner, who created ephemeral atmospheric effects using large washes of liquid paint. Other influences include Henry Matisse, Francis Cadell...Category

- Dawn of a New Day, Moody Landscape Painting, Dartmoor Sky, Abstract Oil PaintingBy Sophie BergerLocated in Deddington, GBA gold-leaf landscape painting by Sophie Berger. This original oil painting on canvas board has the depth and moodiness of a Dartmoor sky as well as the vivid sunshine hiding beneath the clouds. This is captured by the iridescent glory of the gold leaf. When the viewer is moving around the room the reflection on the gold leaf changes the whole painting as it glows and reflects. Based on the ever changing skies in Devon where Sophie lives and works. New original artwork by artist, Sophie Berger is available with Wychwood Art in their gallery and online. Sophie Berger's recent work has been greatly influenced by her move to Devon and a new found love of the Dartmoor. She often sketches on the north moors and in Skaigh woods, taking in the mood of the sky, rolling hills and streams or concentrating on the intricate twisted branches and roots of the bracken. Sophie Berger's next stage is to recapture these sketches using oil paint when back at the studio in Kigbeare, thereby creating a strong connection between her work and the landscape. The changeable, moody landscapes...Category
