Kathleen Keifer
Mid-Century Mod PSP

2020

About the Item

Kathleen Keifer is a California-based internationally collected artist. She is a leading force of the New California Realism. With a high level of technical virtuosity Keifer creates a new sense of reality with textures and colors that seem to add lighting effects and distinct shadows, confronting the viewer with new interpretations of familiar objects. This one-of-a-kind artwork measures 24-inches tall and 15-inches wide and is a composition created with acrylic paint on canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. It is signed by the artist on the front and back of the artwork. A Certificate of Authenticity issued by the gallery is included. Convenient local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and global shipping options available. Kathleen’s paintings invite the viewer to consider the complex relationship between time and timelessness. It is the sheer visual interaction between the elements, taken in their bare simplicity that interests her. For her, painting captures the very essence of time and its passage. She believes that actual sites and places have an individual magic. The goal is to take objects from popular culture and paint them in a new narrative context. Her complex approaches to popular board games present the subjects as living, tangible objects. Her interest took her to paint bits and pieces of board games. Her husband had been designing and inventing board games for thirty years, and her homes and studios are filled with games and playing pieces. She is fascinated with the response these board games (and bits and pieces) evoke in us as adults. Sure there's the tug of childhood and nostalgia, the innocence of playing a game with clear rules and clear winners. But somehow these board games live in an unconscious dream-realm where they represent something more than the detritus of playtime. All the while she is painting them in the context of living in Los Angeles, a cultural capital filled with pop art and pop culture. Born and raised in Chicago, Kathleen Keifer is a second-generation artist. Her mother, also a fine artist, exposed Keifer to the world of art and supervised her training from a very early age. This legacy continues today as Keifer closely nurtures the development of the artistic leaning in each of her three daughters, inspiring a third generation of female artists. Her works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected internationally, including Chicago, New York and London.

  • Maple Forest - Large Original Impasto Abstract Forest Trees Landscape Painting
    By Dana Cowie
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Using an impasto, painterly technique Dana Cowie creates cubist-inspired farm and rural landscapes. Working within controlled color schemes, her artworks appear abstract up close and become more representational as the viewer takes in the larger image. Each stylized color represents shadows and grander forms of perspective that capture a more vibrant experience beyond the minute details of the subjects she paints. Dana Cowie created this 36-inch high by 60-inch wide by 1.5-inch deep horizontal abstract landscape artwork with oil paint on canvas. This artwork is wired and ready to hang. The sides of this artwork are painted white. The artist signs the artwork on the front. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable U.S. and international shipping available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with this unique painting. In Cowie's artworks, each stylized color is utilized to capture the essence of rural landscapes and emphasize the importance of color as a critical element in painting. Her technique creates a textured and layered effect that adds depth to each artwork, drawing the viewer's attention to the interplay of color and form. Dana Cowie's artworks are a beautiful and engaging blend of abstraction and representation, capturing the spirit of rural life with a fresh and innovative perspective. Cowie's work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group shows across Canada, in the U.S., and England. She is collected worldwide. Dana’s paintings have been featured in magazines as well, including Style at Home Magazine, House & Garden magazine (UK), and Escarpment Magazine.
