StolenSpace Gallery is proud to present Chromata by artist duo PichiAvo, their new body of work introduces fresh explorations of colour, form, and material, expanding on their distinctive fusion of classical art and graffiti.
Chromata explores contrast, layering, and the play between absence and presence across painting, sculpture, and installation. Central to this new series is the unveiling of Chromata, a new technique that employs contrast as a defining principle. Rooted in colour theory, works juxtapose grayscale with full colour, reducing visual noise to heighten vibrancy. This use and deliberate absence of colour recalls how classical sculptures - now perceived as white marble - were once painted in vivid hues. In reimagining them as dynamic and bright, PichiAvo honour the past while responding to the present.
Layering, further define the series: paint is applied then removed to reveal what lies beneath, evoking histories resurfacing over time. Much like the ever-changing walls of street art, these works carry a sense of mystery and multiplicity, inviting open reflection and engagement.
