Kristy Chettle (American, born 1968) "Sunrise Beyond the River" 2024 Oil Paint, Wood The artist signed the back of the painting. This striking 22" x 38" abstract oil painting by Kristy Chettle captures the raw energy of nature through vibrant, expressive color. Painted directly onto reclaimed wood, the artwork showcases her unique approach to using natural materials, allowing the texture of the wood grain to become an integral part of the piece. The rich, fiery hues of orange, red, and yellow swirl across the surface, evoking a sense of dynamic movement and shifting light. The cooler tones of blues and blacks provide contrast, creating depth and intrigue. Chettle’s distinctive technique, where she applies the paint using only her hands, adds an organic, tactile quality to the work, making it both visceral and immersive. This piece beautifully represents her ability to blend color, form, and texture into an emotional and evocative abstract composition. 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 pallet 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...
