Angeles Forest Storm contemporary cloudscape

2014

About the Item

A brisk wind causes a cloud to curl as it unfolds across the sky, darkening the cloudscape overhead, while revealing highlights of the sun in the distance. It is fascinating how the wind’s energy traces the edge of a storm. The natural forces that surround us and shape our lives call to mind the fluctuations of our experience within life’s larger patterns. Kean's layered application of paint and translucent glazes allows for unexpected variations in color and tone that capture various elements from nature's creative chaos. In the process, she gives viewers an opportunity to reconnect with an essential experience of nature and look inward to the dramas of our own minds. This is an original 8 inch by 8 inch oil painting on gallery wrapped linen, stretched on 1 1/2-inch-deep stretchers. It is framed with a simple, black, wood, floating frame with finger friendly wire, ready for installation. As a painter, Katherine Kean seeks moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her paintings aim to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of nature’s turbulence. Katherine Kean has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections. She has been honored to have her work selected for Bloomingdale's in Santa Monica, California, Schiffer's 100 Artists of the West Coast II, Paint America's Paint the Parks, Manhattan Arts Healing Arts International's Celebrate the Healing Power of Art and the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale. Angeles Forest Storm received award for Best Composition in Landscape “Highways 2 - the Journey and the Destination.“
