Keltie Ferris
American • b. 1977
Biography
Brooklyn-based artist Keltie Ferris is most famous for large-scale paintings covered in layers of spray paint and hand-painted geometric fields. Ferris creates perceptual depth through a distinctive use of light and shapes. His work often gives the illusion of a pixelated landscape though it remains abstract in its final form. While spray paint is typically associated with graffiti or temporary, "on-the-go" artistic practices, Ferris harnesses its dynamism to create stable, highly intricate scenes from combinations of vibrant colors.
He also uses his own body as a tool, covering it in oil and paint and pressing it against the canvas. He repeats this process numerous times to record his own trace as a slow but visible disappearance of the artist into the work.
Insights
Ferris received her B.F.A. from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and an M.F.A. from the Yale School of Art in 2006.
He is represented by Mitchell-Innes & Nash.
"My paintings are very pictorial; they are not just about marks. But, on the other hand, I am very invested in the meanings and associations of every mark on my paintings."
