Opening Reception
Chantae Elaine Wright: It Wasn’t a Dream, It Was a Flood, curated by Claudia Taboada.
11:00 AM – 4:00 PM • 274 NE 67th St, Miami, FL 33138
The context of her work is influenced by her multi-cultural familial history, personal narratives, and portraiture, whether it be painting.
Chantae Elaine Wright is a mixed media artist. She has been developing a style around figuration that begins with portraits and curated scenes from photo shoots that she’s done or painting alone, but also expanding into an ardent exploration of polymorphism. She uses photographic source material as the seed for her expression using imagery to evoke from. You not only get a brief glimpse into the characters lives, but you also get to reflect on histories that are divergent from societal ideologies. Her work is centered on expanding the narrative of otherness to be more inclusive of everyday lived experience. Her studio process involves the overlapping of acrylic, oil, China marker, pastel, charcoal, spray paint, marker, and ink onto photographed canvas.
