Whitney Colley

Anton Jeludkov & Whitney Colley are Chicago
based artists, and have collaborated since 2016.
Their background in Graphic Design and Painting
inform their approach to mixed-media work.
Their methodology consists of transforming
digitally rendered objects into tactile image
spaces—weaving optically dimensional imagery
with deliberately flat shapes. Anton & Whitney’s
collaborative process draws on a stream-of-
consciousness-like approach to composition—
bouncing sketches back and forth, constantly
re-constructing one another’s work until it
feels unified, yet disjointed and unfamiliar.
Their imagery draws on elements of surrealism
and abstract formalism—paintings act as windows
into the subconscious, blending recognizable
ubiquitous objects, with completely abstracted
elements; as if piecing together a memory, or
attempting to capture a fragmented flashback.
