Artwork Description:
This painting of an artist's studio was created as a conversation and response to the leading YBA artist -Tracey Emin, whose installation My Bed quite captivated the artist. It was groundbreaking self-revelation, to simply display one's bed with everything inside so sincere and openly that many art admirers instantly become near lovers of Tracy Emin. Nicholaas Chiao decided to go for the same revelation and quite realistically depicted his studio, revealing all aspects of his creative work. The artist thinks that his profession is to organize the chaos of life into finished works of art. The floor of the studio came especially successful, revealing Polloquesque chaos and well complimenting the strictness of his compositions on the walls and on the easel.
