Kathleen Keifer's original artworks represent one of the most significant expressions of New California Realism. Keifer brings a fresh perspective to her colorful scenes of everyday life in the sun along the Pacific coastline (and beyond). Her detailed paintings show us the breathtaking California scenery with its recognizable elements in a new light and with a keen eye for clever composition and layered colors. Her modern landscapes and sublime seascapes capture an impressive visceral visual.This one-of-a-kind 36 inch high by 12 inch wide palm tree inspired artwork is a composition created with acrylic paint on canvas. It is stretched, wired, and ready to hang. The sides are painted as a continuation of the front and it does not require framing. It is signed by the artist on the front and back of the artwork. A certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery is included. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental U.S. and global shipping available.Kathleen Keifer is a California-based internationally collected artist. Her paintings invite the viewer to consider the complex relationship between time and timelessness. It is the sheer visual interaction between the elements, taken in their bare simplicity that interests her. Water, sky, and architecture change their appearance with the shifts in weather and light. Her broken brushstrokes depict light and color in luminous waves, dissolving form into a shimmering surface of vibrant light. For her, painting captures the very essence of time and its passage.While painting landscapes she became fascinated with isolating the objects in her paintings. She believes that actual sites and places have individual magic. The goal is to take objects from popular culture and paint them in a new context. She began to paint the silhouette of the Life Guard Tower more as a pop art symbol than a landscape element. With a high level of technical virtuosity, Keifer creates a new sense of reality with textures and colors that seem to add lighting effects and distinct shadows, confronting the viewer with new interpretations of familiar objects.Born and raised in Chicago, Kathleen Keifer is a second-generation artist. Her mother, also a fine artist, exposed Keifer to the world of art and supervised her training from a very early age. This legacy continues today as Keifer closely nurtures the development of the artistic leaning in each of her three daughters, inspiring a third generation of female artists. Her works are represented by Artspace Warehouse Los Angeles and have been exhibited and collected internationally, including Chicago, New York, and London.REPRESENTATIONArtspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CAEXHIBITIONS2023“Postcards From Nowhere”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2022“The Comforting Familiar”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2020“Midnight Blue”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2018Morris Inn, Notre Dame, INMalibu Beach House, Malibu, CABon Voyage, Coda Gallery, Palm Desert, CASolo Exhibition, Jeffrey Breslow Gallery, Chicago, ILArt Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CAArtspace Warehouse, CA2017Affordable Art Fair New York, NYAffordable Art Fair London, UKArt Palm Springs, CA“Pop Futurism and Abstraction”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2016Susan Schomburg gallery, Santa Monica, CAJazz in the Pines, Idyllwild, CA2015Official artist of Chitag, Chicago Toy and Game Fair, Chicago, IlJazz!
