Raw Expression
Artist’s Statement

A Series of Mixed Media Abstract Paintings by Deb Chaney 2007

A woman’s emotions: raw, heartfelt and explosive can take many paths and express much energy. In this series, mixed media artist Deb Chaney allows her inner self the unrestricted freedom to express as she has never done before

Deep radiant reds and the use of contrasts illuminate the power and vitality behind this work. "Each piece in the series started with a thought written in paint on the paper." The words are then devoured by layers of red, black and white papers, and mixed media to create the texture and vibrancy of the finished abstract image.

Provocative, playful or expressing a deeper consideration, Deb just puts it out there and lets her intuition guide her. "It’s about taking risks and trusting the process. If I’m feeling cross or naughty, I just go with it. My job is to set the intention and then allow the creative process to flow through me".

Deb’s work transforms spirited thoughts and emotions into stirring visual form in bold and imaginative ways.
