About the Item
"Phantom Figures in the Dust" is one of the paintings from Daniel Kettlehut’s Karma and Rebirth series, reflecting the interplay of presence, memory, and transformation. Grounded in the Buddhist concept of dependent origination, the work embodies the idea that all forms are shaped by what has come before, while influencing what follows.
The painting is constructed through layered glazes, allowing traces of earlier compositions to linger beneath the surface. A palette of yellow, dark blue, and scattered red accents conveys both lightness and tension, creating a sense of air and openness within the space. Drips and fluid gestures suggest movement and impermanence, while the hovering, semi-figurative forms evoke ephemeral presences. The work invites viewers to engage intuitively, sensing cycles of emergence, concealment, and transformation within the layered composition.

Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1966, Daniel Ketelhut is an emerging painter who currently resides in San Diego, California. Ketelhut graduated in 1990 from San Diego State University with a BA in Art, emphasis in studio art, and was recognized with distinction in his major. The otherworldly subject matter of his imaginative, colorful paintings is largely self-generated. Depicting strange, biomorphic creatures and fantastic realms, it often explores the themes of mystery and transcendence. In addition to his formal education, Ketelhut is self-taught, which he considers to be just as important. His work has been seen in several solo exhibitions as well as numerous group shows both locally and nationally. His work is included in both national and international private collections. “I draw and paint to lift the veils of everyday and catch glimpses of a world which seems strange and unfamiliar, but is reflective of what is in many ways a more substantial reality – the inner, subconscious world available to all of us.” – Ketelhut
