Kim Keever Underwater Canvas

KIM KEEVER Underwater Canvas

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. A recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Grant, Keever has exhibited extensively throughout the country and abroad. Keever’s work is in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Hirshhorn Museum, Microsoft, Bank of America and Philip Morris.

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