"Bitter / Sweet" Portrait Paintings
Tantalizing and sassy portraits painted on found James' Salt Water Taffy metal sheet pans featured in my art installation for "ARTeriors at The James"
"Bitter / Sweet" Installation x ARTeriors The James

"No Bitter without the sweet; no sweet without the bitter"
"Bitter/Sweet" is my art installation created for "ARTeriors at The James" and inspired by the former James Candy Company on the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk. The concept explores the duality of two opposing forces in an immersive experience featuring found and repurposed confectionery materials. The aesthetic is a push and pull between the bold/expressive BITTER and the soft/ethereal SWEET.
ARTeriors transforms a property in transition into an immersive pop-up art installation featuring 15+ artists at the James' Salt Water Taffy, 1519 Boardwalk, Atlantic City.
Opening Reception / Party:
Friday, November 10 from 6-9pm
Exhibit Hours:

Saturdays & Sundays from 11am-5pm

Shine Your Vibe
Welcome! I'm Chanelle René
My work explores the complexity and nuance of the human spirit. I seek a visual embodiment of our truest self, deepest emotions and engagement with the full spectrum of modern beauty and feminine strength. I use vibrant colors and painterly brush strokes that celebrate the feminine figure to create narrative, inspirational and engaging works from original canvases to large scale murals.
Recently, my work has expanded to include murals and public art installations with a focus on immersive community experiences and visual storytelling.
