About the artwork
This captivating painting by Thai artist Chums J recalls Edgar Degas’ Ballet Dancers, which is reflective of the artist’s aim to reaccess the traditional artistic influence of impressionism, The dominant use of neutral colours in this work conveys a rustic atmosphere that is reflective of the nostalgic subject, while the pink hues used to depict the dancers conveys the delicacy and grace commonly associated with ballet. This sense of delicacy is reinforced by the thin black lines which define the forms in the composition, yet possess an element of fragility. The artist’s skilful technique and use of colour creates mesmerising works that have a striking effect on viewers.
