Keltie Ferris: Dear Sir or Madam November 19, 2008

The gallery is pleased to present Keltie Ferris’ first solo gallery show in New York, which will coincide with a solo project at the NADA Art Fair in Miami. Entitled “Dear Sir or Madam” and “Sincerely Yours”, the pair of exhibitions present new paintings dealing with notions of expression and identity.

Using oil, acrylic, and spray paint, Keltie Ferris creates layered abstractions in which the hard edged forms embedded within the under painting contrast with the soft blur of the sprayed surface to create visual and metaphorical tensions. Oscillating between the pictorial structures of Joan Mitchell and Hans Hoffman, clusters of brushstrokes and bursts of spray paint create “clouds” that dominate the picture plane while blocks and edges are squarely painted to create visual depth. Demonstrating a rigorous concern with spatial illusion and color relationships, her process often includes spraying translucent oil paint over scraped surfaces and cutting or peeling small sections to expose the under painting or raw canvas beneath the painting’s “skin.”

For more information, please contact C. Sean Horton, Owner/Director at sundayles@gmail.com or 212-253-0700. The gallery is located at 237 Eldridge Street (at East Houston) in the Lower East Side of New York City.
