I’ll be opening up the CHLOË Gallery studio near Falmouth on Thursday, Friday and Saturday the 20th, 21st and 22nd of June. You can book in for your visiting experience to see the paintings, prints and more by DM and I shall send you the postcode and a time slot. To plan your trip, why not book into the Pandora just down the hill and make a day of it? I’m always going to encourage a beautiful riverside walk! There are also some inspiring places to stay on the waterside Restronguet Barton farm where you’ll find the CHLOE Gallery studio. You can stay for just the night at both Pippin and Skylark. If you want to see the paintings and prints before you buy, this is a good way to experience them. I can confidently say (thank you Dear Patrons) that many are also bravely collected from online viewings. If you would like to book in for a video tour then I will also give you a slot on these days. I’ll do my best to translate them in their juicy, textured, layered real glow and show you what they are like under different lighting at dawn and dusk. I can be quite quiet on here, I am of course a fan of offline life and artistic productivity but I wanted to let you know when I’m open and when you can come. The elusive artist.

Portrait of Artist Chloë Tinsley shot on film by Arran Busk. Vitruvian woman. Vitruvian man. Perfect ratios. Proportions. Working within the bounds of my own body, I trust it. Knowing, that my arcs echo the ratios seen in the scene. I give over to the rhythm of my own pivot. I work knowingly from my own angles. Find the connection to flow in my breath, following the looped sound of my scrapes against tide, here with the rising sun. The painting finds its timeline. Yet the leaning in is not yet done. Carry me it says. Sign me. Move me now. So it becomes wings, a hood, a cloak over my head a swoosh around my body. I am enveloped. I am covered. I am painted. I am. Here, triumphant amongst the bluebells. Tall like a tree. Tired like a canopy. My arms are high, the painting flows, it catches the wind in throws. Heroic, my belly tightens, my pride warrior like glows. I skip through the trees that soon become jungle, I catch the painting on spikes and ferns, I laugh as I disappear in my multicoloured gown.

When the tide rose over the canvas, the letting go happened. Faster this time. A shock. Piercing pause. Cold water to the heat in my body from the rapid movements, from the arching arms, outreached legs. Seaweed tumbled in. Canvas saturated, safe. Seaweed, sand and then a sandfly, hopping about the colour, exploring new territory. This new horizon, a gaiety, a joy to work on, in laughing disbelief, in truth, in knowing the wonderfully ridiculous nature of it all. I work in wide smiling strokes as the sun belts out the morning. The first sunrise witnessed outside of my home for a year and a half, the first morning missed Mothering. I could kneel in painterly praise indefinitely, pushing and pulling the time, expanding the morning. I paint and move and work to connect with the landscape and light I can see; that envelops me and this canvas. [A brightly painted canvas camouflages itself on the beach, undulating with the rise and fall of the sand underneath, matching the dazzle of the sun now risen.]

The canvas is exposed, the sea rushes over it, the pebbles tumble over it, I kneel and stand over it. It's ok to be Bold and Private. They can go together. Perform. Ritual. Play. Solo. Alone. Watched. Together. Now. Through the lens. The beauty of Degas' painted dancers, is one I hold in my mind's eye often. The encapsulated magic of a performer, behind the scenes, caught in the light. Moving for self. Moving for quiet purpose. Moving for the moment. Are you actively seeing through? Can you feel the pieces? The warmth from the rising sun transforming the deep dark and white sky to hyper-colour; where the water is lit in tumbles of delicious light. They lollop on the incoming tide, springing heat onto the echoes of the outgoing winter.

Vulnerability, revelation, dynamism: Private yet Bold. With my work, there is a private experience that I go through in its creation, in its journeying back to the studio, afterwards. Yet the act itself is bold. The boldest. Here I am, my secrets laid around me, I have undone the threads of the modern world and moved into my language of colour, of connection into the delicious underbelly of the velvet moss, I am exhausted mush; delighted, exposed, vulnerable. This portrait, taken after these exact moments: says it all.

My Solo Exhibition, ‘The Colour Bath, Safe Haven in Vibrance’ is now open until the 14th of May at Trebah Garden. This runs alongside my Colour Bath Trail, ‘An Artist’s Trail for All’ around the 26 acre garden on the beautiful Helford River. My Residency at Trebah continues for the duration of the Exhibition. You may see me painting out and about in the glorious garden. I couldn’t be happier to be there and I’m so looking forward to sharing it with you. Taking some time at Trebah to experience it is a great idea, solo, in a pair, en famille. Lots of space to breathe and participate. Feedback has been phenomenal so far. If you can’t make it in person you are welcome to get in touch for a gallery walk around all artwork is for sale. With love and vibrance, Xxx This lovely photo by @loutonkin .

‘The Colour Bath, Safe Haven in Vibrance’ Exhibition April 4th - May 14th Trebah Garden I am pleased to announce my Residency, Exhibition and a very special Easter Trail at Trebah Garden this Spring. This solo show will be presenting a collection that I am delighted to be able to exhibit together and to bring new work from Trebah Garden into the fold. As the residency develops, these will sit alongside pieces from NSW Australia, Scotland and Cornwall. From harbour and creek, to cliff; all Wildscapes painted outside in situ. Feet rooted into the ground. Colour has the ability to move us, with great explorations in work by Sérusier, in Monet, Rothko and Frankenthaler. I am so pleased and proud to be a Colourist, to have found my language and to introduce it to you, with joy, and gratitude that I might be able to share these Wildscapes and havens. That you might be able to tread lightly and bathe in the colour here too, to move ourselves over to bliss in the sublime. To be in abundant Nature is a heightened and threatened experience. I am evermore acutely aware of our need for the disappearing Wildscape. Our landscapes talk to us all the time. They change and shift under our gaze. The weather moves through. Light shifts. Time passes. I use colour to work with the things that are there but that we can’t immediately see. How things relate to each other in the wider landscape, and how they then relate to our own field of vision. It’s a cross between a language and a belief system. Over the years I have held fast to what I do, I have felt that there was this importance to record. To see. To show. To connect, so that others could also. Can painting be sculpture, can it be dance, performative, ritualistic? Can the material change? Be in flux? Change state? Can it bring joy, to move, to enliven?

COLOUR. We all need it. We all feel it. We all feast on it. The landscape is full of it. Light. Life. Joy. Ancient. Delicious. Bliss. Rippling in waves. Washing through us. I am so excited to share my news with you… #artist #cornishart #spring #artnews #announcement #whatson #whatnext #artistmother #canvas #painting #paintingoutside #vibrant #pleinair #colour #landscapeartist #joy #bliss #visualfeast #chloetinsleyart #chloegalleryuk

Dolphins! A morning moment of beauty. Their family ancestors will have lived alongside ours. We life together. We past together. Must have been about a hundred out there in the deep currents of the last pinks of sunrise. Taking thanks for amazing morning moments to share with friends! Xxxx
