In Stacie Chappell’s most recent work, she explores spatial movement of color and form as metaphor for states of being, or a frame of mind. The work expresses expansiveness, confinement, balance, imbalance and transitioning as visual poetics of space. Stacie titled the show, “Vulnerable Spaces”, to address the depth, method and process involved in intuitive painting. Her work is best described as expressionism that incorporates lyrical abstraction.
Stacie uses a variety of acrylics, inks, fabric paints, and blotting of paint with paper towels, to integrate form, color and pattern. “The various types of paint media and surface treatments I use react differently, ultimately pushing the element of surprise as form and space develops.”
Stacie draws upon life experience as her main artistic influence; a time, mood or memory. Her paintings incorporate intuitive mark-making, and are celebrated for their energy and color. “When viewing my artwork, I want the viewer to have a perceptual and sensory experience. The pieces speak to ethereal landscapes or narratives addressing an emotive feeling.”
Stacie Chappell’s works can be found in many collections both private and corporate, and is displayed at galleries in Seattle, Kansas City and Chicago.
