Kristy Chettle (American, born 1968)
"Metro" 2023
Oil Paint, Mixed Media, Mesh, Canvas, Stretcher Bars
The artist signed the back of the artwork.
"Metro" captures the pulse of urban life through a vivid explosion of color and motion. Kristy Chettle layers dynamic strokes of red, blue, orange, and yellow, blending chaos and rhythm into a vibrant composition that hums with energy. Her expressive technique and intuitive use of color create a sense of movement reminiscent of the constant flux of a bustling city. The surface comes alive with light and texture, revealing new depth and emotion with every glance. A powerful example of contemporary abstract expressionism, "Metro" embodies Chettle’s instinctive approach to painting: bold, emotional, and beautifully alive.
About the Artist:
As a California native (b. 1968, Los Angeles, CA), Kristy Chettle’s paintings explore reflective and thought-provoking themes of nature, transformation, and self-empowerment. Using only her hands and an occasional palette knife, she paints in multiple layers, sometimes scraping off the paint with her fingers only to reapply a new color later, resulting in a deep texture and raw motion. Occasionally, she scrawls her thoughts and emotions into the canvas or uses recycled paper or old screens to catch the next layer of pain, enhancing each piece's depth and visual interest. Each element is thoughtfully considered and placed as a reflection of her life and experiences.
Working primarily with complementary colors, her paintings are lively and raw, with color vibrating throughout from layers deep within the work. Kristy has been a professional abstract artist for many years. Her artwork hangs in the homes of those who appreciate art that reflects expressive motion and color with thick layers of texture and meaning.

Kristy Chettle
Kristy Chettle (b. 1968, Bellflower, CA) is a dynamic abstract artist who paints using only her hands. She works in a sort of “focused frenzy”, painting expressive works
deep with bold colors in complex layers. After earning a degree in Art & Design, she
began her professional career as a graphic designer and now seeks to deconstruct
the confines of modern media. As a California native, she is compelled to explore
themes such as nature, metamorphosis, and personal growth, which are reflective of
the ever-changing environment of the region. Using a vibrant and sometimes unexpected color pallet, Chettle’s work is expressive featuring heavy strokes and dramatic motion. Using multiple layers she creates
a complex, almost tactile surface, inviting the viewer to dive into the painting and
explore its depths. The artist sees her style as a liberation from the rigid rules of
marketing, yet she intuitively implements the disciplines she was taught. Working primarily with complimentary colors, her paintings are lively and raw with color vibrating throughout from layers deep within the work. Kristy has been a professional abstract artist for many years. Her artwork hangs in the homes of those who appreciate art that reflects expressive motion and color with thick layers of texture and meaning. Inspired by some of the greats—Picasso and Van Gogh in particular—she aspires to replicate the depth and life that their works portray.
