DESCRIPTION

Oil on paper | 2018

Kelsey Shultis creates sculptural oil paintings that explore strength through thick texture and aggressive movement. In her new work, both on paper and canvas, she invites her subconscious mind to take the lead, choosing color and composition based on her feelings in that moment, The artist relies on mistakes and unintentional actions for inspiration.

“Sometimes I'll work a painting so much that I can lose the impulse that led me to it, or the window in which it wants to stay. The works on paper and small canvases don't allow me to overthink gesture too much, and in that constriction I can be more free. They are whimsical improvisations.”

Kelsey’s work largely explores the tenuous stability of life. She represents the beings/objects/environments that we hold with such significance and use to define our lives, and their inevitable transitions to disorder and termination.
