Description

This abstract work by James Chiew is built around a layered composition of warm reds, deep yellows, blacks, and earthy tonalities. The interplay of color and depth creates an intense yet grounded visual field, where gradual transitions and rich contrasts suggest both movement and a sense of inner weight.

While Chiew is widely recognized for his high-gloss, multi-layered epoxy finishes, this new body of work introduces a matte surface. This shift reduces reflection and draws attention to the structure of the composition and the density of the pigments themselves.

The matte finish brings a quieter, more tactile presence to the painting, allowing the layers to emerge slowly and with intention. Dark undertones anchor the composition, while warmer hues rise through the surface, creating a subtle tension between depth and luminosity.

This piece reflects a natural progression in Chiew's practice, where complexity and atmosphere are achieved through restraint, material sensitivity, and a deep exploration of earthy color.

Presentation

James Chiew's paintings are born from his creativity, insight, and organizational skills. The designs are recognizable, graphic, and often with an oriental tinge. A sculpture or painting by James Chiew has the gift of elevating the atmosphere of an entire room to the next level. James Chiew, originally from Singapore, never received formal training in art or design. Thanks to his insight and talent, he became a freelance photographer and art director.

In 2001, his graphic design agency was founded. As his thirst for creative expression was not yet satisfied, he began photography in 2005. He gained experience in product and culinary photography, among other things, before expanding his skills with modeling sessions. It wasn't until 2009 that his true artistic blood revealed itself. James Chiew's images or paintings appeal to the imagination through colors , 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 painting or sculpture by James Chiew. 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 attention to detail, color, and technique. A fresh look at what we encounter in our daily lives. The sometimes bold hues and images bring excitement and sensation. It's no wonder Chiew has made a name for himself in corporate art. A James Chiew sculpture or a James Chiew painting separates you from reality.
