About the Item

Chloe Hedden’s Dark Plum Excess from her Excess series exemplifies Excessivism through its sculptural use of thick, unrestrained paint. The deep plum hue, associated with luxury and indulgence, hints at capitalism’s material excess. The impulsive, swirling brushstrokes create a dynamic, chaotic texture, capturing raw emotion and reflecting societal overconsumption. By transforming paint into a physical, almost overwhelming presence, Hedden critiques modern excess—whether economic, environmental, or psychological. The piece embodies both personal expression and broader cultural critique, mirroring contemporary anxieties and the burden of abundance. It is both seductive and suffocating, beautiful and overwhelming—a powerful reflection of today’s consumer-driven world. Through her exaggerated use of material, Hedden invites viewers to confront the paradox of excess: a society thriving on indulgence yet weighed down by it. *Inquire about groupings of multiples. A painting from Chloe's "Excessivism" series where she explores the excessive use of paint to express her feelings about the current state of the world. The works are pure abstraction and usually often employ bright colors used in the commercial world. Brush strokes are impulsive and are left unaltered to capture her mood at the time of making. About the ideology of "Excessivism"; it is a reflection, examination, or investigation of every aspect of life in excessive state with particular consideration to the areas that have real and consequential effect on the members of the society. Subject areas are, but not limited to, economics, politics and psychology. In the area of economics it is a commentary on economic materialism. It reflects, examines and investigates the excessive desire to acquire material goods beyond one's needs and often means. "Excessivism" depicts the excessive use of resources in an exaggerated way, by means of two- or three-dimensional visual creations, written or spoken words, or in any other manner. It aims at a reflection, examination, or investigation of the capitalist system, devoid of aesthetic, legal, commercial, ethical, moral, racial, or religious considerations." --Wikipedia keywords; contemporary use of paint, bright and vivid colors, women artists, wall hanging, materiality folds, process-based, dynamism, wall sculpture, abstract art, minimalism and contemporary minimalism, pastel, rough, biomorphic, thick brush strokes, painterly, monochrome, line, form, ​and color, focus on materials, abstract sculpture About artist: Born in Utah (USA), Chloe Hedden looks for the unseen patterns and hidden narratives that reveal the magnificence in all things. ​According to the artist, there is a still point in every moment and to capture this essential luminescence is what she aims for in her practice. Chloe makes use of archetypes from the cultural and mystical history to inform her work. It is through this inspiration that she created her latest body of work comprised of intricately folded Burlap wall sculptures. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design in 2002, Chloe's paintings and sculptures can be found in numerous public and private collections.
