About the Item

Marsh Labyrinth depicts still water at the edge of wildness. Turbulent skies cover placid water. A sinuous path beckons us onward through mysterious half submerged grasses, inviting dreaminess, acting as a bridge to the subconscious and a line between dreaming and awake. Beginning with under-painting, Kean modulates the intensity of light that spreads from the center of the canvas, while lines and shapes are defined and then partially obscured. Layer is painted over layer, resulting in unexpected gradations and tones. Imagination’s alchemy transforms the recognizable into delicately nuanced layers of color and tone, to gently invoke mystery, sensation, and mood. Original oil on gallery wrapped linen, cradled by 1 1/2-inch-deep stretchers. It is wired with finger - friendly wire, is ready to install and comes with an official certificate of authenticity. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is. As a painter, Katherine Kean seeks moments of breathtaking 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 paintings aim 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 Bloomingdale's 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.
