Chloe McCarrick Opening Night - Debut US Show

HELIOCENTRIC

Renowned UK-born contemporary cyanotype artist, Chloe McCarrick, is set to debut her first solo exhibition in the United States, titled “Heliocentric.”  This much anticipated exhibition delves into the intersection of historical narratives and artistic expression through the medium of cyanotype.

“Heliocentric” celebrates trailblazing women who have been overlooked, casting their legacies in a new light.  The sun, frequently depicted in the artist’s work, serves as a metaphor for enlightenment, visibility, and life, bringing these influential figures out of the shadows and into the forefront of collective memory.

Many of the pieces reflect this solar inspiration, with circular forms representing the sun’s eternal presence.  Cyanotype, a unique photographic process, involves placing a negative on top of chemically treated paper and exposing it to sunlight to develop cyan-blue images.  By harnessing the power of sunlight to create each piece, Chloe McCarrick emphasizes the force of these women’s contributions and the ongoing need to recognize and honor their impact throughout history.

Hosting the first U.S. solo show in Los Angeles, a city renowned for its abundant sunshine, is especially fitting, as it symbolizes the bright and vibrant recognition these women deserve.
