Whitestone Gallery is delighted to present Baby Blue, a solo exhibition showcasing works by the esteemed artist Sebastian Chaumeton. The exhibition showcases Chaumeton’s profound exploration of childhood memories and the essence of creativity. His multi-layered works address issues surrounding the oversaturation of information and images in modern society whilst also conveying a weariness about the consequences of technology’s rapid advancements.

Baby Blue delves into the depths of Sebastian Chaumeton’s personal journey of reconnecting with his childhood, seeking to rediscover forgotten aspects and unravel further understanding through his creative drive. Growing up, Chaumeton was often found with a pencil and paper, immersed in drawing for extended periods of time. The act of drawing brought him a sense of concentration, tranquility, and contentment. In this exhibition, he draws upon this innate connection with art to explore the fundamental question of “why” he creates. For Chaumeton, the answer to this question is ever-evolving, sometimes crystal clear, allowing him to dive headlong into his work, while at other times, the creative path requires playful exploration before the purpose comes into focus, and the foggy outlines of ideas transform into concise, calculated lines of communication. To Chaumeton, art is the means of conveying an idea—a channel through which he communicates with the world.

Opening reception: 4 – 7pm, 26 October (Thursday)
