Water Tower Brooklyn, Encaustic on Panel, 16x16
Somewhere in between grit and grime Kellie McDermott reveals the grotesque beauty of abandoned urban landscapes. Through her use of encaustics and other wet media McDermott paints scenes of these spaces that appear frozen in time. Light and shadow become key compositional elements that aid in the contrast of structure and chaos. The surface quality of encaustic allows McDermott to create a textural, almost sculpture like, quality in the paintings that reflects the physical structures of the landscapes and architecture she is depicting.
Kellie's works are currently on display at the Griffin Gallery, 77 Mill Street, Gahannah, Ohio.
