Dom Chastney is interested in creating art through the process of painting and the application and handling of his mediums. The surface of his works often contain within it a variety of different motifs, methods and materials before the finished form is reached. Chastney’s ‘slow art’ experimentations involve laying out canvas sheets on the ground at various places across Scotland and England. These he covers in metal objects and organic detritus, leaving the works out for months of exposure, resulting in staining and discolouration patterns. He develops the works further with dyeing processes: using Shibori stich technique and painting with a dye ‘resist’ made from flour and water, as well as pouring paint onto the surface, manipulating the paint and dragging threads across the canvas. The accumulated layers create new compositions, like maps or river networks, referencing the landscape within which they were made; the silhouette of mountain, furrows of a field and branching structures to evoke trees. Chastney also uses photo-luminescent and phosphorescent pigments that glow in the dark or change colour under Ultraviolet light, alongside paint made with metallic powders of bronze, silver and gold that glint and reflective crystal to reflect back the light, allowing the paintings to reveal themselves more fully in the changing light.

Chastney is originally from Norwich and studied at Fine Art at Leeds University, graduating in 2004. He has exhibited in group and solo shows in Yorkshire, Norfolk and London.
