If you’re searching for limited edition canvas art or fine art prints that challenge convention and spark conversation, Alicia Bourley’s Checkered Past series delivers an arresting visual experience. Known for bold, emotionally resonant work, Bourley brings a unique perspective to the world of collectible art.
This series explores the unexpected intersection between chess and florals—two seemingly unrelated themes, yet both rooted in intention and unpredictability. Chess is a game of precise, strategic moves. Flowers, on the other hand, grow wild, untamed, and beautifully unplanned. In Checkered Past, these two worlds collide.
Each artwork layers checkerboard motifs with expressive, vibrant florals, illustrating the tension between control and chaos. It’s a meditation on life’s duality: how we plot and plan, yet must embrace the unpredictability of outcomes. Whether you're a chess lover, a floral art collector, or simply drawn to art that tells a deeper story, this series offers something strikingly original.
Every piece is available as a limited edition canvas print or archival-quality fine art print, ensuring your purchase is not just decorative, but collectible. These are more than just statement pieces—they’re visual reflections on choice, randomness, and beauty in the unexpected.
Whether you’re curating a bold interior or building a personal collection, Checkered Past makes an unforgettable addition.
