fuchsia
Hometown: Paris
Based in: Paris
this project is an insight into the world of 25-year-old fuchsia, full of colour and enquiries on life. she aims to evoke serious earthly matters in playful and slightly mystical ways, with a tinge of humour.
growing up in hong kong, delhi, and the UK has provided fuchsia with a baggage of experiences, colour palettes, curiosities, but most of all, a strong desire for self-expression, both through the mediums of art and music.
she is currently focused on developing two principal themes in her work: those of social injustice and climate change. her royalty series are a means of exploring the concepts of power and authority in a light-hearted and comical style. she regards minimal wastage in her work as a real priority, re-using paints and paper where she can, as well as sizeable pieces of cardboard for larger pieces. she is also preparing her début EP which will be out in the early months of 2021.
