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.
This 30”x48” acrylic painting, created with a palette knife, features soothing layers of textured cream, white, and soft blues. Gentle vertical strokes blend upward from deep oceanic tones into a light, airy atmosphere, evoking a sense of calm and stillness. The overall effect is both minimal and serene, capturing the quiet beauty of a misty shoreline or morning fog.
