GALLERY

SERIES: ASSEMBLY

In this series Chiera works with displaced associations of shapes and colours, drawn from graphic design, fashion, history and nature itself, using a variety of methods and materials, from acrylic paint, spray paint, stencils, collage, assemblage and needlework. The paintings themselves have shifting hierarchies of similar concerns: material exploration, abstract identity, formal space and narrative expression. They openly blur the boundary between high art and applied art, not only in principle but in practice, lending themselves to diverse forms of surface design.
