Being My Other Self - original abstract minimalist painting - contemporary Art
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. These shapes, distinct yet harmonious, hover near each other without touching, creating a sense of balance and quiet tension. The stark contrast between the black forms and the white backdrop draws the viewer's attention, yet the soft, rounded edges of the shapes impart a feeling of tranquility and unity. 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. This exquisite artwork is available for purchase online and at the Signet Contemporary Art Gallery in Chelsea, offering a perfect blend of sophistication and introspection for any space. Artist biography: Fiona Debell, a self-taught abstract artist, is renowned for her emotionally impactful and thoughtfully composed works. Her artistic journey began at 18 after a transformative encounter with Mark Rothko...

Lemon Meringue - Gyotaku Style Sumi Ink Painting of a Multi-Colored Octopus
Located in Chicago, IL
A small octopus is inked in the Japanese style of Gyo-Taku print making. Using sumi ink to "print" the octopus, the artist then embellishes it with colored pencil to convey an extraordinary dimensionality. By printing it on Mulberry paper, which mimics the swirl of water, the artist achieves a beautiful aesthetic. The artwork is matted and framed in a simple white wooden frame measuring 18.25h x 24.25w x 1d inches.
