Artist Statement for Caren Keyser
|
|
|
Experience the striking beauty of tropical modernism through the art of Caren Fuller Keyser. These dynamic acrylic paintings introduce a bold new glimpse into Florida’s riotous tropical foliage. The details are rich with abstract patterns while portraying realistic complex images of nature.
Each painting bursts forth with the strong hues and dramatic contrasts distinctive of her style. Color meets realism in art that celebrates Florida as plants intertwine, competing for existence in crowded sun lit worlds. As order is created out of chaos, each painting adds punctuation to the long run-on sentence that is nature itself.
----------------------------------------
I began painting professionally in 1977 after studying art at Florida Atlantic University. There I explored the many styles and techniques available to the acrylic painter. My first photo-realism style piece was created while attending FAU. I knew from that moment that realistic nature scenes would be my style of choice. Today my paintings are still very realistic but do not adhere to the strict disciplines of photo-realism.
Color has become the dominant feature in my work rather than the strong contrasts of the past. I begin with a detailed drawing that is first painted loosely in bright hues. Many thin layers are then added, each refining the details of the image until the final piece emerges, striking from a distance, and engrossing in its complexity when studied closely.
