Across Nina Chanel Abney’s prints there is a distinctive feeling of empowerment both through the imagery and bold, vibrant color choices the New York based artist employs. Chanel Abney is unique in her ability to powerfully channel and rework elements of pop and street art with cutting social commentary to create symbolic works that challenge convention and foster dialogue.

In Nina Chanel’s art we find visually arresting and compelling narratives that are born from a signature visual language that combine symbols and figures as colleges of meaning are deconstructed, recomposed and find new life. Abney’s work often deal with the themes of exclusion, yet paradoxically, invites the viewer into the conversation and to participate in these important and vital conversations. 

Chanel Abney is an artist of the 21st century whose art is the art of the everyday told through her energetic and empowering college style that captures the feeling of our modern world. A sense of unsettled chaos combines with possibility and hope as her surrealist slant offers a distinctive and inviting perspective on the world around her that resonates with collectors across the world. Far from having a fixed view or message, Abney Chanel’s works  open conversation around the pressing issues of today inviting each viewer to bring their own experience into play creating a two way exchange of ideas that allow new meaning and new interpretations to be so brilliantly formed.
