Blue Lovers brings intimacy into contact with the physical presence of oil paint. In Mia Chaplin’s practice, bodies and relationships emerge through surfaces that retain a sense of touch. The painting invites a close encounter with the tension between tenderness and material density, allowing the handling of paint to carry emotional weight alongside its subject. Made in 2020, it belongs to her continuing exploration of vulnerability and embodied experience.
