About the Item

ARTIST’S STATEMENT I have two bodies of work; hard-edge glitter geometric abstractions on canvas and the “glitter panels” which are abstract compositions made out of fabric, allowing them to be presented in various ways—draped, hung flat or stretched like a formal painting. The paintings, with some formal elements of Light and Space and color theory, are strict in their forms but playful in their materials. I’ve introduced a bit of naughtiness with bright color, glitter, and sometimes elements such as fake fur. The viewer can, with a glance, understand formally what the painting is about but with extended involvement, there is more to experience. If one moves around a work it shifts in color or light and the surface appears to move. In many works, when the viewer directs their gaze at a point on the painting and then looks immediately at a white wall, an after- image appears. The work offers shifts in visual perception in both the direct looking and also in the looking away. The fabric panels, less formal in their composition as they are in their method of hanging, are the product of an invitation to design a “glitter chamber” for an art fair, which posed many logistical problems. These panels were the solution and it opened up a new set of possibilities which I continue to explore. BIO Kelly Brumfield-Woods (b. 1966, Los Angeles) received an acceptance to Otis College of Art and Design but had built a full-time studio assistant business for herself, working closely with some of her favorite artists, and she opted to continue working in the art world rather than returning to academia, working closely with artists such as Billy Al Bengston, Mary Corse and Charles Christopher Hill. She concurrently developed and expanded her own artistic practice. Since 2009, Brumfield-Woods has exhibited widely in Los Angeles including solo exhibitions at TAJ Art Gallery and Saatchi Arts’ The Other Art Fair. Group exhibitions in Los Angeles include Over the Influence, Manhattan Beach Art Center, Loft at Liz’s, Gallery 825, and Red Pipe Gallery. Her work was included in SCOPE Miami in 2018 and the Southern California / Baja Biennial at the San Diego Art Institute in 2016. Brumfield-Woods and her work have been featured in several publications including LAWeekly, Peripheral Vision Press, Art and Cake, and FULL BLEDE. Known for her hard-edge, geometric abstract paintings, Brumfield- Woods’ works explore visual perception, color theory, and pattern. Although formal aspects of the Light and Space movement are present, she eschews minimalism with the addition of glitter and soft textiles, such as fake fur. Viewers themselves activate the works, which shift in color, tone, and light as their eyes and body move across and in front of the surface. Working on panel, canvas, and paper, she paints autonomous, color field paintings of dynamic shapes, often with complimentary colors. The color selections are often selected to induce an after-image, a hallucinatory effect causing the viewer to perceive a temporary glow in their vision.
