THE COLOUR CHAPTERS
HOW IT WORKS
“Each month I paint a story along a colour theme. A memory, a feeling, an adventure or landscape. I paint every piece by hand in my Berlin studio, and you open up your mailbox to receive a beautiful envelope full of life and possibilities. ”
“Each Chapter consists entirely of hand-painted studies on paper, allowing collectors to invest in a collection of original artworks over time.”
This is your chance to collect beautiful original artwork every month.
Over the years, many people have asked for a way to collect Claudia’s work in a way that was more attainable than a large painting. Rather than creating prints, Claudia prefers to open up a part of her practice that has previously remained in the studio.
Every Colour Chapter is a collection of small, hand-painted, original colour studies, made on thick, gallery-quality paper.
The pieces will be collectable, available on a monthly subscription basis.
WHAT COLLECTORS RECEIVE
Each month, you’ll find in your mailbox:
one original colour study, hand painted and signed by Claudia Gillies, on A5 size, thick 300gsm archival paper,
a second, post-card size original colour study, which is designed to be posted, gifted or shared with someone special to you (… or just kept!), and
a letter from Claudia about that month’s series, and personal updates from the studio, just for collectors.
Membership is €33 per month for the first 100 Founding Members, and shipping is free worldwide. Lifetime price, cancel anytime.
Join by the 22nd of each month to receive that month’s Colour Chapter.
“So many beautiful colours and textures never make it out of the studio. So the Colour Chapters is my way of bringing this private & experimental part of my broader practice to collectors.”
The Founding Collectors
The first 100 collectors will become the Founding Collectors of The Colour Chapters.
Becoming a collector begins at €33 per month, including free worldwide shipping. This Founding Collector rate is reserved for the first 100 collectors.
Once the first 100 places have been filled, new memberships will open selectively out of respect for the remainder of Claudia’s practice.
Everything begins with a feeling and a colour. A place, a memory or idea, a landscape or movement. An instinct that keeps returning. This is where Claudia’s paintings begin. Colour studies have always been part of her practice. Until now, they have remained in the studio.
Works that have always played an important role in the development of her paintings are now being released to collectors for the first time.
The Colour Chapters is a way of sharing the joy of painting itself, while allowing collectors to build a growing collection of original artworks over time.
They are intended to be not only enjoyed, but shared: In addition to the main piece, a second, smaller original colour study is included.
Some collectors may choose to keep the pair together. Others may choose to pass it on to someone, introducing another person to the experience of owning a unique artwork.
