"This new chapter is all about me! It's the continuation of my journey in art and life. Last year I found myself painting to the beat of someone else's drum for most of it. So many commissions that I am extremely grateful for, but it didn't leave me with much space to evolve, create anything new, or even discover what I wanted to paint. So this body of work is the beginning of my new chapter." ~ Khalsom
Hiya Addictees!
We are screeching with excitement! It's our pleasure to introduce you to Tunku Khalsom's latest series, Chapter 2.
This new series is giving us the feels and so many wows! Move over Katniss Everdeen. This girl is on fire 🔥🔥🔥
For those of you new to Khalsom, here are the Cliff Notes:
"My work is themed around contrast and change. I look to create something that's both beautiful and 'ugly' using bold contrasting colours, shimmers and hues alongside rough, cracked, abrasive textures.
"It's this relationship that I want to focus on, the idea that something damaged or broken can also be beautiful.
"Life is constantly changing. We are forever growing and evolving, whether we realise it or not. As humans, we experience moments of love, joy and contentment, and moments of despair, heartbreak and loss. Our ideals change, our behaviour, our propensities, and the butterflies signify a metamorphosis or the concept of growing up."
Let's meet the characters of Chapter 2...
