Katherine Kesey (b. 1996, Lubbok TX) is an oil painter, mixed media artist and writer based in Los Angeles, California. Kesey holds a degree in Graphic Communications from Clemson University, has studied at the American University of Paris, and is finishing her Master’s in Fine Art at Otis College of Art and Design.
Kesey’s work is made from compiling ordinary objects and scenes into collage-like compositions. Freely manipulating color, scale, detail and perspective, Kesey utilizes fragmentation, gathers unrelated source images and works intuitively to make images that hold tension between realism and randomly associated, self-fabricated, stream of conscious inspection. Her work interrogates phenomenology, psychology and the science of meaning, by exercising power as a narrator and autonomously directing composition and object rendering.
