Author: Courtney Willis Blair, Isabelle Hogenkamp, Miles Champion (eds)This long-awaited publication is the first major monograph and career retrospective for the celebrated Kentucky-born, Brooklyn-based painter Keltie Ferris. Known for his large-scale, energetic, brightly chromatic abstract canvases layered with spray paint and hand-painted geometric fields, Ferris makes staunchly analogue paintings that draw inspiration from a range of subjects in this beautifully bound and visually stimulating volume.Ferris has created works inspired by different ideas, from the broken-up pixelation of digital images and rubbed-out graffiti on New York streets to the glimmering city lights visible from his Brooklyn studio at night. Ferris has commented that 'bedazzled energy and bright artificial light' are prevalent inspirations for his compositional sensibility, which joyfully deploy 'painting’s full arsenal'. This catalogue explores the past 10 years of Ferris's career, examining his style and technique. ISBN 9781734405200.
