A bit of candy, bouquet of flowers, a dash of perfume. Sounds like the ingredients for romance doesn’t it? Or better yet, the ingredients for the art of Clara Hallencreutz. 

I glimpsed some of her pieces that reference Chanel and quickly got drawn into her world of color, whimsy and surrealism. Her modern pop art inspires questions and exploration through her presentation and title selection.

From afar, the paintings appear like any other, with colorful brush strokes giving life to forms across the canvas.  But step a little closer, and you quickly realize these are not traditional brush strokes that spread color with smooth and continuous movements. But rather, the forms that seemed so realistic and whole from a distance are actually comprised of thousands of tiny paint dots.
