Chantel Schott
Toowoomba, AUSTRALIA
Artist Statement:
Fairytales, sea creatures and mythical concepts motivate much of my art and takes me to an experimental place where I explore with colour and form, expressing nature in an abstract, whimsical manner combining some representation and hints of surrealism.
I am a self taught artist and have been painting since 2005, however I have only began to take my art career seriously since 2008. I enjoy using acrylic as my main medium and creating vibrant, vivid and quirky artworks, focusing on abstract art. I particularly enjoy creating layer upon layer with acrylic for the backgrounds of my paintings to give an under the sea or in a forest feel where the viewer can experience a quirky, yet dreamy ambience. I like to position out-of-place creatures or objects for amusement with the idea of the characters being stuck in a dreamscape – where anything goes.
