About The Artwork

This piece Tierra Dorada or Golden Earth is part of my Earth - Air - Fire - Water -Aether solo show at KAONI Gallery in Barcelona. I wanted this piece to represent the plowed fields of the Baix Emporda region of Catalunya. It was painted using a palette knife and gold leaf. ELEMENT es una colección basada en los 5 elementos TIERRA, AIRE, FUEGO, AGUA y ÉTER. Los elementos clásicos con frecuencia nos evocan los conceptos pre-científicos de la Antigua Grecia. Esta obra sintetiza estos elementos y contiene trabajos realizados en acero y canvas. Todos reconocemos y nos sentimos fascinados por los cuatro elementos, temas recurrentes en mi obra. En su estado más simple, intento capturar el oleaje del mar o la calma de las frías aguas, la tierra esculpida caprichosamente por los “caminos del deseo”, el denso aire que aguarda la tormenta o el poder hipnótico del fuego en la chimenea. El éter posee una cualidad más intangible. Para los chinos es el vacío, en la medicina Ayurvédica es el elemento que une a los demás elementos. Para mí, es dónde estos elementos se conectan: en la orilla, mientras el sol desaparece en el horizonte, la atmósfera alrededor de la Luna del Cazador o de un crepúsculo de una noche de verano. Incluso podría ser ese sentimiento sobrecogedor que experimentamos cuando estamos en las montañas o al lado del mar, o nos conmovemos ante la majestuosidad de la creación humana. Quizás es dónde reside la inspiración o la conexión entre el espectador y la obra artística.

I moved to Barcelona shortly after completing my degree enthused by the light and cultural dynamism of the Catalan capital. I was born in London but spent my formative years growing up in Lyme Regis, England. I moved back to London in the early 90’s to do a Foundation at Chelsea Art College. I studied sculpture at the Hornsey Art College in North London, whose alumni include Richard Wilson, Richard Wentworth and Anish Kapoor including an Erasmus sculpture programme at Valencia University. Once in Spain I returned to my practice and spent time designing bespoke furniture mainly from steel and wood and working in Interior Design. I set up an artist’s group in a shared studio space. In 2009 I had my first solo show with Tasneem Gallery in Barcelona and then moved to a large studio next to Tapies’ studio in the bohemian Gracia area of the city. My work grew in size and commissions for paintings became a fundamental part of my practice often working with local architects and International clients who walked past my studio. I was awarded the Artist in Residence at The Boat Building Academy, Lyme Regis 2010/2012 a mutually beneficial working experience where the line between craft, sculpture and painting became further blurred for me. I have a long standing relationship with the Russell Gallery in London, Villa del Arte in Barcelona and the Nordic Art Agency, Sweden. I show at art fairs from Singapore to New York and London 'Behind all surfaces exists a previously unseen world. When we dare to peel back the superficial layer we find intrigue, secrets, desires, rust, marrow and molecules. These inner layers are harder to access. They require time, patience, analysis and sharpened skills. These layers are like precious amethyst troves hidden under rough, grey surfaces. Furthermore, said layers are essential to the structure and stability of all things living and inanimate. Chelsea Davine’s resounding work explores these unseen structural layers by giving them a well deserved attention. She urges us to delve and go beyond the veneers and exteriors in search of simple, quotidian beauty. This body of work, documented on steel and canvass— two natural and industrial elements whose uses vary from utilitarian to aesthetic—, is derived from the five classical elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Aether.
