Kristy Chettle
'Dances with Daffodils' - Colorful Textured Nude Woman - Vibrant Figurative

2023

About the Item

This artwork by Kristy Chettle, titled "Dances with Daffodils," is a vibrant and textured figurative contemporary piece that showcases the natural beauty of reclaimed wood as a canvas. The oil paints' rich, warm hues evoke the essence of a figure basked in the golden light of a daffodil field. The grain and knots of the wood blend seamlessly with the organic curves of the human form, creating a sense of unity between nature and humanity. The bold brushstrokes and the interplay of colors, ranging from fiery oranges to sunny yellows, suggest a dance of shadows and light, offering a dynamic and tactile quality to the piece. This work is a celebration of the human form and its connection to the natural world, inviting viewers to explore the sensual and rhythmic harmony that exists within both. About the Artist: Kristy Chettle is an abstract artist whose tactile approach to painting sets her apart. Born in Los Angeles, California in 1968, Chettle forgoes traditional brushes and palette knives, favoring the intimate connection of painting with her hands. Her works are characterized by deep textures, vibrant complimentary colors, and layers that carry a visceral sense of motion and raw emotion. Each piece is a reflection of her journey, interwoven with messages of environmental care and self-empowerment. Influenced by the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh, she strives to bring similar depth and life to her paintings. Her commitment to a green practice extends to using reclaimed wood and recycled canvases, minimizing her ecological footprint. Chettle's art, a vivid exploration of nature and transformation, resonates with those who seek expressive, meaningful compositions. “Kristy is a unique master, her technique is quite authentic and inspiring: All of Kristy’s works are painted with her bare hands. There are no brushes or palette knives used, which adds to the immediacy and rawness of the painting.” –Alik Elzafon, American Art Gallery, Carmel, CA 1-of-1, available at the American Art Gallery, Carmel-by-the-Sea, California.
