Chloë Holt RCA FRSA - “Rha”
Original painting by Chloë Holt RCA FRSA. One of the youngest artists ever to be elected a member of the RCA. Winner of the 2012 Kyffin Williams Drawing Prize, Chloe also, in 2010 won the International Lorenzo il Magnifico prize by the Florence Biennale for works on paper.
"Rha is a meditation on place—its textures, its history, its quiet rhythms. At its heart is a bundle of Yorkshire rhubarb, known for its vivid pink stalks and cultivated in candlelit forcing sheds, a tradition unique to this part of England. The rhubarb rests in a deep, darkly glazed English earthenware bowl, its surface catching a wash of sky-reflected blue—an accidental but poignant connection between earth and air.
Alongside it lies a pale, almost spectral pomegranate, a fruit long associated with myth and memory. A pair of curling scissors and a worn tar pan complete the arrangement—humble, almost forgotten tools with a kind of archival presence. Rha speaks to rootedness and time, to the way objects carry traces of their landscapes, and how domestic fragments can echo larger histories. It’s a painting about cultivation, about the alchemy of growth, and about the way we quietly inherit and observe the places we live."
