About this artwork
Kitchen Blue is a portrait of one of the artist's former girlfriends, from his student days, and is from a series of paintings that play with the graphic line or with notions of the term ‘graphic’. Whereas the background kitchen elements are all reduced down to the bare minimum needed to accurately convey the visual message of the drawing (a skill that was honed during the artist’s earlier life as a technical illustrator), the figure in Kitchen Blue…
is painted in a more realistic yet visceral manner – acting as a contrast to the cold, clinical lines of its surroundings.
The close-up photo shows the side view of the painting where you can see how the lines sheer off over the edge. The white line of the drawing is actually the primed surface showing through, so when you actually view the piece in the flesh, so to speak, your eye fluctuates slightly between the painted surface and the line drawing below. This can give the impression that the line of the drawing vibrates slightly.

« I'm never happier than when I'm creating something that I find personally meaningful. »
U.K. painter, sculptor, and draftsmen Wayne Chisnall has shown work in over 40 group and solo exhibitions throughout the world, and has been featured in numerous publications. He is often inspired by his own childhood memories, while also embracing the possibility of misremembering and memory fabrication. Chisnall works across multiple media, letting the piece dictate the artistic approach. Excited by reworking found objects, Chisnall crafts visual narratives that lurch between humorous and uncanny.
