What is Artful Decay

Artful Decay knows no bounds, it is a way to experience the beauty of the macabre through various mediums and styles. It is for those who enjoy what lurks in the shadows, and who are not afraid of a bit of darkness. 

Who is Artful Decay?

Artful Decay is a passion project by Chloé Thompson that started in 2024 as a way to explore macabre subject matter through visual art. 

A life-long artist, Chloe struggled with finding her creative niche, trying various styles and subject matters. Finally, the embrace of the weird and taboo allowed her to express her lifelong morbid curiosities around the occult, death and the bizarre. 
 
Chloe pulls stylistic ispiration from tattoo culture and gothic media. Using mediums like linoprinting, acrylic ink and acrylic painting, Chloé looks for new and creative ways to bring her ideas to life.
