Chloe Kramer 2026

Abstract

The following text and images work to understand the relationship between boundaries and limitlessness within the practice of making art. With a focus on materiality and abstraction, Chloe Kramer uses process as a way to develop paintings simultaneously rooted in the material world yet aware of the more cerebral nature of human experience. The use of a conceptually dialectic framework allows meaning to arise from the making, as the process of painting is a constant interaction and negotiation between the artist, the painting, and the viewer in order to synthesize the truth of a thing. The paintings made adjacent to this research mirror our reality, however they also ask us to practice autonomy and agency through the ability to imagine something more.
