KELSEY LOWES
Kelsey Lowes is an abstract artist from Ontario, Canada.
She established her style of work through exploring texture and movement. Over time she gravitated towards solely working with a palette knife.
Kelseys work draws in the eye by subtle textures that are created with acrylics and various mediums like charcoal and oil pastel. She focuses on creating a level of contrast in her body of work that draws the viewer into each detail.
When Kelseys work is seen up close and personal, each piece explodes with a chaotic mess of textures, layers and colour. However, as the viewer steps back, those small details fade into a cohesive piece, tying each mark together. Her work has been know for its balanced calmness, and also its ability to evoking different perspectives from its viewers.
ZERO
Creating without Expectations
This collection of work may not seem cohesive at first glance. However, I encourage you to take a deeper look into the marks, the movement and the layering in each piece.
Out of a place of curiosity, this collection of work was created. I had to ask myself, what would happen if I chose to paint knowing that I had Zero expectation of the outcome. Whether the painting looked like trash, or came together in a way I would have never thought possible.
This collection is about giving up the need for setting expectations, the need to get off the chair I find comfortable and paint how I feel in the moment. It’s emotional and maybe it doesn’t make any sense to some. It’s raw and most times it can’t be explained only felt.
Be open to let yourself feel, to create and to step away from your comfort.
It might just surprise you.
