2024

About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Fiona Debell's "Things I Have Seen" is a captivating abstract minimal piece that masterfully blends simplicity with boldness. The painting features a soft brown background that serves as a warm and inviting canvas for the striking elements within. Dominating the right side of the composition is a bold black L-shape, which hugs the edge and creates a sense of foreground and depth. In the opposite corners, two semi-circles stretch across the canvas, converging in the middle. These semi-circles are rendered in a pristine white tone, which contrasts sharply with the soft brown background, drawing the viewer’s eye to their intersection. Where these shapes meet and overlap, the background is revealed, adding an intriguing layer of complexity and visual interest. The concept behind "Things I Have Seen" lies in its exploration of contrast and harmony through minimalistic forms. The bold black L-shape and the delicate white semi-circles create a dynamic interplay between solidity and openness, structure and space. The revealed background at the intersection of the shapes symbolizes moments of revelation and clarity within the broader, more ambiguous experiences of life. Fiona Debell's "Things I Have Seen" invites viewers to find beauty and meaning in simplicity. Its clean lines and balanced composition make it a versatile piece, perfect for enhancing a variety of spaces with its subtle elegance and thought-provoking design. This exceptional work is available for purchase online and at the Signet Contemporary Art Gallery in Chelsea, offering art lovers a chance to own a piece that gracefully combines minimalism with profound conceptual depth.

Each piece invites you to uncover its distinctive charm, showcasing Fiona Debell's exceptional talent and unique perspective. “As an emerging artist, I have established a niche with my large-scale, visually arresting, minimalist abstract works. Since 2018, I have been a dedicated, full-time artist. My collection, "Reciprocity," reflects my belief in the interconnectedness of humanity. Each piece is a nuanced conversation about the inherent give-and-take in human relationships, exploring the tensions and dynamics of these interactions. This series breaks them down to their elemental forms, highlighting the intricate dance of life. My art celebrates simplicity, finding complexity within minimalism. This approach creates an interplay of forms and colours that captivates and challenges, with large-scale pieces evoking a spectrum of emotions from introspection to liberation. Inspired by the Hard Edge movement of the 1960s, I explore bold shapes and colours, emphasizing purity of form. My work integrates post-painterly techniques, ensuring brushstrokes are imperceptible and each colour application becomes part of the narrative. This signature approach ensures my art is visually striking and deeply immersive. Each composition, seemingly simple, is a complex construction with profound thematic depth. I am committed to technical precision and conceptual richness, striving to create art that resonates universally, transcending cultural and linguistic boundaries. In essence, my art is a visual journey through life's complexities, embodying the invisible bonds that unite us. With a focus on technical mastery and conceptual depth, I aim to create pieces that communicate globally, connecting and captivating audiences with their underlying message.”- Fiona Debell

Located in London, Chelsea
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Fiona Debell's "Being My Other Self" is a captivating abstract work that embodies the elegance of minimalism. The painting features three black shapes that float serenely across a soft white background.
