Chisara Vidale
Chisara Vidale is a London based emerging artist whose work examines our connections to each other and the natural world. Working across painting and textiles, her practice is an exploration of the complex intersections between the anthropological, the natural and the metaphysical. Her work reimagines this world without the physical boundaries between the artist and nature. In this space she explores the emotional and spiritual interactions with subtle changes in environment. Within this realm there is no hierarchy of being, so fungi, plants and animals all exist within the same collective experience.
These works look to dismantle our human-superior modes of thinking, whilst visualising this realm helps her to envision a future beyond the climate and biodiversity crisis that is deeply respectful of all forms of life and consciousness. Her works are deeply influenced by extended time spent wandering within the landscape observing forms, light and colour, as well as personal interactions growing plants on an allotment, camping and with animals in places such as Dartmoor and Norfolk.
Influenced by the practices of artists such as Hilma af Klint, Agnes Pelton and Franz Marc, these works endeavour to explore a dialogue between the spiritual realm and the natural. The sense of geometry and symbolism within the work is drawn from research into folk tales, mythology and pagan practices, creating a link between the stories and organisms that guide our experiences.
