In 2023, Pieter Chanterie returned to painting after spending a significant period focused on installation work. Fascinated by angels—their mysticism and symbolism—Chanterie envisioned a series in which these spiritual beings venture into human spaces. Appalled, intrigued, and amused, they explore the materialistic and superficial pleasures of human life. This imagined encounter between the spiritual realm and the everyday world amplifies the contrast between the profound and the trivial. With this series, Chanterie poses a simple yet resonant question: What would angels think?
