About the Item

Edge 4_10 by artist Jeff Kellar is a contemporary grey and white contemporary abstract clay resin and pigment that measures 24 x 25 and is priced at $3,500. Jeff Kellar known mostly as a minimalist painter who creates subtle, flat abstract work that explores space, light and the relationships between illusion and materiality. By exploring how far he can effectively reduce visual detritus, Kellar seeks to reveal the magnitude of basic compositional elements, to employ the power of simplicity to transform potentially subtle facets like shape, line, and color into the crux of the work. Kellar works in a mixture of resin, clay, and pigment. He applies multiple layers to each surface to build segments of color that range from bold to subtle, but invariably display a certain depth and intensity (not unlike frescoes). His paintings are on thin aluminum panels that float a half-inch from the wall, protruding into viewer space and emphasizing the objectness of the pieces. The resulting shadows around the panels situate them in space, while also describing the effects of gravity and light on their physicality. “They’re not so much a window on the world but a surface to hold illusion,” he says. He works on a surface of an aluminum composite material, which offers a thin, flat panel. He layers paint on top of the surface, and incises precise lines that bisect the surface and hold thin strips of paint, often in colors other than the larger surface. The effect is a textured plane that creates the illusion of depth. “I’m trying to achieve surfaces that have depth, warmth and intensity,” -- Jeff Kellar
