Original painting by Chloë Holt RCA FRSA. One of the youngest artists ever to be elected a member of the RCA. Winner of the 2012 Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize, Chloe also, in 2010 won the International Lorenzo il Magnifico prize by the Florence Biennale for works on paper.
"Kama is a word rich with ambiguity—it can mean kiln, oven, or stove in Japanese—but beyond that, it carries a sense of transformative heat and elemental change. In this work, I’ve tried to embody the feeling of kama not just as a functional vessel, but as a space of alchemy, where energy bursts forth, uncontrollable, and life is quite literally burned into clay.
The painting is layered with texture and weight—ash, earth, pigment—evoking the moment where matter begins to shift, to fuse, to become something new. Colour is caught in flux: darkened, scorched, and glowing at once. Kama is about that liminal state—between destruction and creation, energy and stillness—where the essence of something ancient is formed in fire."
Raw pigments, graphie, oil paint and gesso on board in handpainted antique frame.
