Kerry Hays
"I Trapped Myself in Gauze" - Contemporary Geometric Abstract Paintings

2023

About the Item

This painting is a geometric abstract painting featuring hues of brown. Kerry Hays is inspired by the work of Josef Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Agnes Martin and Barbara Hepworth. Kerry Hays is an Atlanta-based abstract painter. Her recent body of works explore the theoretical opposites 'Lightness and Weight' as explored by Czech author Milan Kundera and is prompted by her own personal life shifts. Which is positive and which is negative? Lightness may seem positive but the absence of burden may make us too light, too free. Could this lightness cause a sense of insignificance? The idea of weight conjures heaviness, a burden, it can pin you down to the ground. But does this weight also give your life meaning and truth? Half of this body of work represents Lightness: shimmering color fields that seem as thin as sheets of tissue paper that could fly away at any moment. The other half represents Weight - the work literally weighs more in your hand - it is thick, textural and substantial.

(framed) Please note: Our framing studio could not accommodate the scale of this work, so it is being sold as-acquired.

He was particularly influenced by a Life magazine article from 1961 on the Abstract Expressionists, most notably: Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, Adolph Gottlieb, Hans Hofmann, Mark Rothko, Clyfford Still, Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline. After stints at the Art Students League, the Kansas City Art Institute, the San Francisco Art Institute, and the University of California at Berkeley, Landfield’s professional career as a painter began in New York in 1965. The following year, after completing a major series of hard-edge border paintings, success as a painter began to materialize. The famous architect and collector Philip Johnson and the collector Robert Scull each acquired large paintings works, as did the Sheldon Memorial Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. In 1967, Landfield was invited to participate in the Whitney Annual at the end of the year. His work attracted considerable attention, and he was invited to participate in important group exhibitions at the Bykert, Bianchini, and Park Place Galleries in New York. Landfield joined the David Whitney...
