Chase Valentin

Whilst anguish is evident in their subject matter, Valentin's enigmatic oils are informed by a sense of beauty and order. Crafted in layers that veil and reveal incident, they have an apparitional quality. While abstraction plays a significant role in conveying the artist’s psychologically-charged narrative, the solitary male figure takes centre stage. Sensually rendered with draughtsmanship influenced by Greco-Roman artistry, idealised depictions of warriors and heroes offer intimate expressions of an embattled psyche.
