Sophia Chilton is a Southern Ontario-based abstract artist. She graduated from the University of Guelph with a Bachelor of Arts, Honours in Studio Art.
Sophia Chilton’s practice consists of immersive and contemplative lightscapes, that transform the environment in which they are displayed. She does this by projecting her abstract paintings on and through various surfaces in a choreographed manner. The spaces welcome audience interaction and the movement of people throughout becomes an inspiration for future projects.
Sophia’s paintings and prints are complementary to her light installations. Her brushstrokes mimic her own movements in space and translate them into shapes and colours. Movement and materials influence and inspire one another, breathing life into a blank surface.
