Chloe Holt
Painting
Chloe Holt’s paintings are concerned with composition, decomposition, colour and form, and translate the energy of her subjects through the physicality of mark making and gestural painting. Certain elements are always evident in her work – an emotive spirit, a sense of passing time and of memory connecting with our deepest, most contemplative thoughts.
Chloe was born in 1981. Shetrained at The Royal College of Art and Manchester Metropolitan University, and was elected to the Royal Cambrian Academy in 2012. She was awarded a Fellowship of RSA (HRH Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce) in 2003. Prizes include Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize, 2012 and "Lorenzo il Magnifico" Prize for works on Paper at Florence Biennale, 2010.

I am Inspired by the ability to describe and communicate experiences through paint. I celebrate and understand my medium and how it can inspire the outcome: it is a fusion of mind and material. My experience with textiles links directly to my love of tactile works and surfaces, and the notion of portraying the personality of your subject matter.
