“Mingo” (2026) Mixed Media on Canvas 🦩 This one is no longer viewable at my exhibition, simply because it sold within an hour of opening 😱🫶🏻✨ Thank you so much! 🦋 She, however, has been replaced by some smaller works that I never got photos of so you’ll have to go see them for yourself 😉 @sockgallery #chloejean #flamingo #bird #painting #mixedmedia

HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY @davidattenborough 🦋 Of course to honour the great Sir David Attenborough on his 100th birthday I had to share my 3 meter drawing inspired by my favourite documentary “Planet Earth” ✨ This drawing travels around the world sharing different animals in their home biomes. It’s a celebration of life, nature and ecology. This reel doesn’t do it any justice, pop over to @sockgallery to see it in person 🫶🏻 #davidattenborough #happybirthdaydavidattenborough #nature #ecology #animals

Fun Truth ✨ The paper birds attached to the canvas were meant to be apart of a hanging installation I had planned, but time wasn’t kind and I had to abort. I then thought 💭 how nice would they look as part of these paintings 🙌🏻 Right, I was 👏🏻 Image 1: “Poppy Vase” (2026) 42cm x 42cm, Acrylic and Oil on Canvas (£280) Image 2: “Botanical Pitcher” (2026) 42cm x 42cm, Acrylic and Oil on Canvas. (£280) Frames made by me 🙌🏻 They’re available from @sockgallery until June 6th 🫶🏻 Both artworks are featured in my Debut Solo Show; Nature: Staged & Unbound #birds #flowers #flowersinvases #botanicalpainting #poppies

These two are sister pieces 🙌🏻 Directly inspired by each other, referencing the unbound, the wild. Flowers that aren’t organised into vases, creating disorganised organisation. ✨ As much as I love arrangements, I love it when flora finds its own path an I wanted these works to represent that love 🌸 Both of these works are available from @sockgallery until June 6th as part of my solo show, Nature: Staged & Unbound 🦋 Painting 1: “wildling” (2026) 70cm x 80cm, Oil, Acrylic & spray paint on canvas £750 Painting 2: “Coneflower Field” (2026) 70cm x 80cm, Oil, Acrylic & spray paint on canvas £750 #wild #nature #flora #natureartist #spring

“Coneflower Field” (2026) 70cm x 80cm Acrylic, Oil & Spray Paint on Canvas 🌸Coneflowers in bloom, reimagined through layered bursts of acrylic spray and the richness of oil paint. Soft petals in coral, blush, and gold emerge against bold, shadowed silhouettes, capturing both fragility and resilience. The contrast between airy sprays and textured brushwork creates a sense of movement—like a garden caught between memory and dream—where light, color, and form quietly collide. 🌸 Available from @sockgallery until June 6th £750 ✨ #coneflowers #spraypaint #acrylic #flowers #spring

A Solo Exhibition by Chloe Jean 🌸 Nature, Staged and Unbound’ explores the relationship between the handmade and the natural, the miniature and the monumental. Through paper collages, dioramas, sculpted flowers, butterflies, and painted botanicals, nature is staged and reimagined. Each piece carries the intimacy of craft—the cut, the fold, the fragile layer—while drawing from contemporary art and installation. The result is a whimsical, precise ecology: a paper wilderness in bloom, where gardens spill beyond frames, butterflies hover, and flora unfold in fragility and abundance. The exhibition immerses visitors in nature as it might be—fabricated, layered, and reimagined through the transformative potential of paper and paint. Viewable Until June 6th @sockgallery #natureexhibitions #arttobuy #flowers #birds #artist
