Description: In A Future in the Past, Chloe addresses the abstract nature of time—how people often live either reminiscing about the past or planning for the future, rarely inhabiting the present. The painting features intersecting planes of muted colours, overlaid with bold strokes of bright reds and yellows, and black lines illustrating the tension between the muted reality of the present and the intensity of past and future desires. She creates deep grooves in the paint, marking the passage of time and showing how the present gets consumed by moments that have already passed or have yet to come. This piece reflects Chloe’s wish for people to experience the here and now, a challenge she expresses both in life and in art.
