Painting In Conversation: An International Exhibition of Paintings Made by Artists on Chelsea's MA in Fine Art

Painting In Conversation:An International Exhibition of Paintings Made by Artists on Chelsea's MA in Fine Art

Chelsea’s MAFA is comprised of an international body of artists who have all brought with them their unique cultural, political, and art making values influenced by their respective homes.

This exhibition addresses the opportunities, unanticipated changes in trajectory, and even difficulties that have come about as a result of the shared intimate environment in the studio spaces with colleagues from all over the globe. Indeed, the conversations we have in our studios each day-- about painting history, our work, our lives and insights on the world--are proving to be influential for us and this exhibition showcases paintings that have been realised in this context. The works in this exhibition are a visual manifestation of our ongoing critical dialog with one another, spoken by manifold painters in manifold tongues.

Artists:
Jean Kim, Liz Elton, Nicholas Dedics, Adam de Boer, Johanna Keogh, Maarten Van Den Bos, Dalia Baassiri, Alison Lucas, Mohammad Namazi, Michal Kozlowski, Yue Xiaofei, Nakyoung Kim, Sakura Mori, Sanghyun Kim, Sejung Lee, Shiew Eng Hii, Xiao-yang Li, Soo Eun Baik, Thekla Ek, Jae Youn Won, Xingyue Zhang, Yuma Tomiyasu, Alejandro Salcedo Barrero, Chen-Shih Lu, Rebecca Byrne, Kan Xie

About the Salon Series

The Chelsea Salon Series is conceived as an initiative offering students the opportunity to meet outside the college premises in a variety of spaces to exchange ideas and forge productive relationships with galleries , arts institutions and the locality.

This forum is intended as an opportunity for students to get feedback on their practice and to experiment with ideas arising from their research. It is also aims to promote alumni interaction with current students and support alumni projects. It is specifically intended to expand the professional practice development of the artists involved.

The Chelsea Salon Series is structured in such a way that allows for both PRACTICE and RESEARCH to be pursued alongside the curriculum in relaxed surroundings outside the academic institution with fellow MA Fine Art students and other invited artists ,alumni, curators and arts professionals. Although centered around Chelsea College of Art & Design specifically it is intended to be inclusive and open.
