About
Kiki Gaffney's Pink Portal is a diptych piece done on two wood panels, consisting of a fine-detail graphite drawing on the left and a vibrant oil painting on the right. The two pieces mirror each other, with the drawing on the left depicting a gray-toned landscape next to an abstracted painting on the right with a pink polka dot design.
For this piece, Gaffney found particular inspiration from a series of photographs she took of rock formations at Arches National Park in Moab, UT. The pieces on wood panels explore the rhythmic and whimsical energy found within these natural rock formations that bring forth a sense of grandeur and feeling of being on hallowed ground. By juxtaposing organic, animate shapes with organized design elements, she enables us not only to re-experience, but rather opens a space for contemplation and deeper examination into the relationship between our natural and created ‘atmospheres’.
