Katherine Kean
Branches of the Same Tree contemporary triptych painting

2015

About the Item

This triptych painting was inspired by an enormous tree, glowing red and orange, lit by the setting sun. I was fascinated by the families of branches spreading from and beyond the trunk; reaching out and through. It is hard to say where one stops and another begins. Depicted here are bold russets and orange branches set against contrasting blue-green-gray. A close look reveals subtle bird shapes in the background. Each panel of this modular painting measures 24 x 18 inches. Placed side by side the overall width is 54 inches. This is oil on gallery wrapped linen with hand painted edges that is wired for installation with finger-friendly coated wire and signed by the artist. Included is an official certificate of authenticity. Katherine Kean’s paintings seek moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her work aims to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of nature's turbulence. Katherine Kean has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections. She has been honored to have her work selected for Bloomingdales in Santa Monica, California, Schiffer's 100 Artists of the West Coast II, Paint America's Paint the Parks, Manhattan Arts Healing Arts International's Celebrate the Healing Power of Art and the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale.
