About
First Love by Kelsey Irvin is a blue, green, grey, and brown contemporary abstract painting made with vintage ephemera, oil and acrylic on canvas and is priced at $8,000. Artist’s Statement “I find myself collecting traces of people’s lives. Memories misplaced in need of recognition; old letters; vintage matchbooks; boxes of aging paper treasure. Using vintage ephemera in my work is a way to pay homage to those memories, those lives. In a world that is becoming more digital each day, I’m driven to bring new life to objects that may otherwise be lost and deteriorated in time. The challenge I seek is to maintain a balance between working with such old objects and recreating them in a contemporary artwork that holds the test of time. From Antoni Tàpies to Andrew Wyeth, I’ve admired artists with a deep sense of nostalgia. Their ability to bring life to the overlooked inspires me to the core. The hats are a form of portraiture, each as unique as the person who chooses to wear it. The figures are often subtle beauties. This is another balance between the old and the new. Vintage elements expressed in contemporary times. These women tend to resemble those of the past. Their body language is more classic, less presumptuous, and their faces sometimes hidden. The hats they wear allow for anonymity and subtlety while expressing confidence and beauty at the same time.” CV Exhibitions: 2017 California Cool Art Auction 2017 Laguna Art Museum Laguna Beach, CA 2017 Unfolding Stories Solo Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2017 2017 Annual Group Exhibition Craighead Green Gallery Dallas, TX 2017 Selections Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2016 Summer National Juried Exhibition Marin Museum of Contemporary Art Novato, CA 2016 Nostalgia Solo Craighead Green Gallery Dallas, TX 2016 Palette to Palate Laguna Art Museum Laguna Beach, CA 2016 Impressions Kelsey Michaels Fine Art in association with Laguna Art Museum’s Art & Nature Event 2016 Patterns Attleboro Arts Museum Attleboro, MA 2016 Ethos Art Spiral Art Gallery at Mykonos Blu Mykonos, Greece 2016 62nd Annual Juried Exhibition Pensacola Museum of Art Pensacola, FL 2016 Art Party 2016: The Obvious Choice Craighead Green Gallery Dallas, TX 2016 California Cool Art Auction 2016 Laguna Art Museum Laguna Beach, CA 2016 January Group Exhibition Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2015 Art2Give The Blender Gallery Athens, Greece 2015 Raw Purity KMFA in association with Laguna Art Museum Art & Nature Event Laguna Beach, CA 2015 61st Annual Juried Exhibition Pensacola Museum of Art Pensacola, FL 2015 Kinari + Ethos Athens, Greece 2015 Rock – Paper – Scissors Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2015 Selected Works Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2015 Amazing Steals Auction 2015 Salt Fine Art Laguna Beach, CA 2014 Nature’s Mirrors Kelsey Michaels Fine Art in association with the Art & Nature event at the Laguna Art Museum Laguna Beach, CA 2014 Kelsey Michaels Fine Art Group Exhibition Laguna Beach, CA 2014 Juror for: Sylvia White Gallery 2014 Collector’s Choice Ventura, CA 2013 Affordable Art Fair Seattle, WA 2013 Sylvia White Gallery Juried Exhibition Ventura, CA 2012 Sylvia White Gallery Be A Saint Ventura, CA 2012 Contemporary Art Catalogue White Stone Gallery Philadelphia, PA 2012 Affordable Art Fair New York, NY 2012 International Artexpo Pier 92 New York, NY 2012 Fine Art & Faith Exhibit White Stone Gallery Philadelphia, PA 2011 Solo Show Studio Chameleon Newport Beach, CA 2011 International Artexpo Pier 94 New York, NY 2010 HD Expo Sands Expo and Convention Center Las Vegas, NV 2010 International Artexpo Jacob K.
