Painter and sculptor, Heather Chontos works impulsively and spontaneously. Her gestures are powerful, her graphic compositions combine strength, dynamism, intense colours and organic forms. She feels the world with strength and has an unconditional love of light. The artist diverts objects from their original use and applies paint using old credit cards, pieces of broken glass or simply draws and scratches the surface of the canvas with the paint tube itself. These materials allow her to draw long, penetrating lines as well as large, saturated fields of colour.
