Katherine Kean
Fog Lifting, contemporary atmospheric landscape

2014

About the Item

Original oil on linen painting imagines a whisper quiet moment. The fog draped beach boulders slowly emerge into view as the fog lifts revealing strokes of blue sky. This painting won a Manhattan Arts International “Celebrate the Healing Power of Art 2014” Featured Artist Award, an international juried competition with Guest Juror Lilly Wei. This is an original oil painting on gallery wrapped linen. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is. Kean's layered application of paint and translucent glazes allows for unexpected variations in color and tone that capture various elements from nature's creative chaos. In the process, she gives viewers an opportunity to reconnect with an essential experience of nature and look inward to the dramas of our own minds. As a painter, Katherine Kean seeks moments of breath-taking transition in nature; a gathering of clouds or changing tides; times when the elements of the landscape combine with the alchemy of imagination to illuminate the world of heightened mood and sensation. Her paintings aim to capture these fleeting moments in time and reveal the serene center that can arise in the midst of nature’s turbulence. Katherine Kean has exhibited in museums and galleries across the United States and has been acquired by many private and corporate collections. She has been honored to have her work selected for Bloomingdale's in Santa Monica, California, Schiffer's 100 Artists of the West Coast II, Paint America's Paint the Parks, Manhattan Arts Healing Arts International's Celebrate the Healing Power of Art and the National Weather Center 2015 Biennale. Angeles Forest Storm received award for Best Composition in Landscape “Highways 2 - the Journey and the Destination.“

  • Foothill Thunderhead
    By Katherine Kean
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    Interesting phenomena affect the look of the landscape, whether it is the light effects caused by the reflective particles thrown into the air by a volcano, or the strange twilight caused by a storm suddenly and dramatically changing the angle of the sun’s rays and for a moment, relighting the landscape. In this painting it is a thunderhead cloud forming suddenly above the mountains. This small alla-prima painting is created directly in a single session, on gallery wrapped linen, with 1 1/2 inch deep stretchers. The edges are hand painted, providing a finished look, suitable for framing, or beautiful left as is.
