In the realm of contemporary art, James Chiew stands as a pioneer in optical illusion and light-infused creations. His work is characterized by a mesmerizing blend of colors, textures, and reflective surfaces, inviting the viewer into a world of heightened perception and sensory delight. In his masterpiece, “Helium Dreamland," Chiew masterfully employs resin, glitters, high gloss resin, and aluminum to conjure a mesmerizing spectacle of light and movement. The artwork's expansive canvas, measuring a towering 250 x 120 cm, serves as a canvas for Chiew's artistic vision, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in its captivating depths.

Upon initial observation, “Helium Dreamland" presents a symphony of vibrant hues, swirling and intertwining in an intricate dance. The artist's deft manipulation of resin allows the colors to flow seamlessly, creating a sense of ethereal fluidity that seems to defy the boundaries of the canvas. Glitters embedded within the resin add a touch of sparkle and luminescence, further enhancing the artwork's captivating allure.

Chiew's mastery of light is particularly evident in “Helium Dreamland." The high gloss resin surfaces capture and reflect the ambient light, transforming the artwork into a beacon of shimmering brilliance. As the viewer moves around the piece, the light dance across the surface, creating ever-changing visual patterns and illusions.

The introduction of aluminum further enhances the artwork's interplay of light and shadow. The material's reflective properties introduce a layer of depth and complexity, as the colors and glitters seem to dance and shimmer off the polished surface.

“Helium Dreamland" is not merely a visually arresting artwork; it is a sensory experience that invites the viewer to engage with its tactile and reflective qualities. The resin's smooth surface invites touch, while the glitters and light reflections create a mesmerizing spectacle of movement and color.

Chiew's limited edition of “Helium Dreamland" is a true testament to his artistic prowess. Each piece is meticulously crafted, ensuring that the vibrant colors, reflective surfaces, and intricate details remain pristine and captivating for years to come. This masterpiece is a must-have for any collector of contemporary art, offering a glimpse into the realm of optical illusion and light-infused artistry.

Masterpieces

James Chiew paintings have come about thanks to his creativity, insight and organizational skills. The designs are recognisable, graphic, often with an Eastern tint. A James Chiew sculpture or painting has the gift of taking the atmosphere of the entire room to the next level. James Chiew, who is from Singapore, never trained in art or design. Thanks to his insight and talent, he grew into a photographer and art director on his own. In 2001 his graphic design agency got off the ground. Since his hunger for creative expression had not yet been satisfied, he started photographing in 2005. He gained experience in product and culinary photography, among other things, before expanding his skills with modeling shoots. It was only from 2009 that his true artist blood came to light. James Chiew images or paintings appeal to the imagination through colours, shapes and texts. He is no stranger to exhibitions. “If you are not satisfied with what you see, create it yourself". Chiew's motto is evident in every single James Chiew painting or sculpture. Chiew draws inspiration from everyday objects and activities. When you recognize his source of inspiration, you will never look at the world the same again. Chiew knows how to show the viewer a different perspective with his eye for detail, color and technique. A new look at what we encounter in our daily lives. The hues and sometimes daring images bring excitement and sensation to the space. It's no wonder that Chiew has made a name for itself in the corporate arts. A James Chiew sculpture or James Chiew painting breaks you apart from reality.
