Representational painter Chloe West isn’t judging you for looking, but she wants you to know that she knows. Bone collecting, the Devil’s Tower, vanitas, modern dance, misidentified decapitation… West's work is both seductive and reclusive, as her figures populate the space between voyeuristic intrigue and unmitigated agency, implicating you, the viewer.
