Chris Watts | Love Chant

In his first European solo exhibition, Chris Watts plays with the way color may have the power to produce spiritual vibrations in people. Through bright bursts of pigments held within his trademark use of transparency and fabrics, he displays his intuitive understanding of color to explore how it can affect the psyche of people. How the color and scale of a work, may produce energy and a sense of spirituality. Unlike the impactful but more muted series of German artist, Sigmar Polke, Chris Watts’ biography and cultural background give a fresh, brighter, more contemporary approach to how we may interact with a cross-continent spiritual past. With the use of science and a deep love and understanding of color, Chris Watts will continue to push the alchemic potential of these Peruvian pigments until there are no more.
