Kim Keever: Underwater Canvas

September 26 - November 7, 2020

Jerald Melberg Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of Kim Keever’s boldly colored, abstract images. Keever photographically captures colliding, billowing colors into a soft yet explosive choreography, creating imagery as beautiful as it is technical.   

 

Trained as an engineer, Keever uses precision and innovation to compose his photographs, utilizing a strategic dispersal of specially prepared pigments into a 200-gallon aquatic tank, creating dynamic, random movement confined within the glass walls.

 

After photographing through the glass, Keever crops the images to achieve the desired compositions. In this process dualities emerge: the images exist in a space between chance and control, between explosiveness and grace. 

 

This is the artist's second solo exhibition with the gallery.
