About the Chairs Series
Shannon Fincke's Chairs Series is a series of semi-abstract process based paintings. These works are composed of two primary visual elements, a chaotic ground and the insertion of arrangements of two dimensional cut paper chair shapes onto that ground. The combination of visual chaos and the ordered chairs creates an air of tension and potential that pushes viewers to explore the potential of action contained within the elements of the paintings.
