Fiona Debell
Utter Impudence-original abstract minimalist painting-contemporary Art

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 "Utter Impudence" is a compelling abstract minimal piece that captivates with its bold shapes and subtle contrasts. The painting features two black semi-circles, flipped and meeting at the center to create a sand timer shape. This central form is framed by a rectangular outline in the same black tone, adding structure and focus to the composition. The entire arrangement is set against a soft cream-toned background, which provides a gentle contrast and enhances the painting's visual impact. The slight distance between the semi-circles reveals the cream background, creating a sense of movement and dynamism within the otherwise static shapes. This gap also invites contemplation on the relationship between the forms and the space they inhabit, suggesting themes of separation and connection. The concept behind "Utter Impudence" explores the interplay of boldness and subtlety, as well as the balance between structure and fluidity. The stark black shapes against the soft background evoke a sense of daring and defiance, while the elegant simplicity of the composition speaks to a refined sense of balance and harmony. Fiona Debell's "Utter Impudence" invites viewers to engage with the tension and balance inherent in minimalism, encouraging a deeper appreciation for the power of simple forms and contrasts. This striking piece is available for purchase online and at the Signet Contemporary Art Gallery in Chelsea, making it a perfect addition for those who appreciate the nuanced beauty of abstract art.

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.

This visual interplay invites viewers to explore the spaces between the forms, emphasizing the importance of both presence and absence in the composition. The concept behind "Being My Other Self" revolves around themes of identity and connection. The black shapes symbolize individual aspects of the self, each unique yet part of a greater whole. Their separation suggests the different facets of one's personality, while their proximity hints at the potential for harmony and integration. "Being My Other Self" is a testament to the power of simplicity and abstract expression. Its clean design and thoughtful composition make it a versatile piece, suitable for various settings and styles.
