Katherine Kean

Confetti Rain 2. landscape impressionist

Drops of rain reflect bright lights and punctuate the soft, tonal background of a rainy day. The windshield highlights the contrast of an intimate experience within and the effect of the elements outside. Both painterly and playful while striking a midpoint between pure representation and an emphasis on the picture plane. Painted on a cradled gesso board panel, with 1 1/2 inch deep, smooth wood edges. Suitable for framing or beautiful left as is. A childhood of moving and traveling around the United States has shaped Katherine Kean's vision, as have journeys to eastern Africa, Mexico, Scotland, France and painting jaunts all over Kean's now native California. Born in West Virginia, moving later to Ohio and New Jersey, but growing up mainly in Massachusetts, she attended Rhode Island School of Design, graduating with a BFA in Film, Video and Animation. Long fascinated by the intersection of order and chaos in the natural world, Katherine Kean skillfully uses observation, memory, and interpretation to translate her love of natures kinetic phenomena into paintings that capture the often turbulent emotions within light, weather, and landscapes. Her work has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States, including the LACMA Art Rental and Sales Gallery and the Brand Library Art Gallery in Los Angeles...

Katherine Kean: Rain on the windshield makes a fine mist that creates a sparkling, atmospheric veil, between you and the rest of the world. This one in a series of "windshield paintings" is painterly, brushy, a little bit textured, and slightly raised, particularly for the drops. It is painted on gallery wrapped linen, with hand painted edges. From the artist: An unexpected, but welcome rain, as experienced from a place of comfort. My windshield paintings aim to capture these fleeting and intimate moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of natures turbulence.
