Artist Statement:
Lisa Kesler is a successful
painter, printmaker and
mixed-media artist living in
Seattle, Washington. Her art
integrates printmaking,
collage and painting and draws
on her interest in geometric
forms and contrast. Kesler
continually experiments with
techniques and materials, and
it is this act of
experimentation that inspires
her as an artist.
The rural landscape in central
Illinois where she grew up is
reflected in much of her work.
Her first oil paintings as a
high school student were
realistic "snapshots" of rural
architecture that earned her
several awards in the
Scholastic Art Competition.
After earning a bachelor's
degree in Fine Arts from the
University of Illinois in
1982, she began combining
abstract, flat compositions
with realistic images in a
comment on the flatness of the
fields around her. Influenced
by Cubism and the art of the
1940's, Kesler gravitated
toward greater abstraction.
Kesler's recent work pays
tribute both to the Cubists
and the patterns she finds in
rural imagery. She is
intrigued by the possibilities
of repetition and attributes
her attraction to the
patchwork in the quilts and
farmland of her childhood. In
her mixed-media works on
paper, she stylizes forms into
simpler geometric shapes ...
