Keifer brings a fresh perspective to her hyperrealistic painted excerpts of popular board games with a keen eye on a clever composition and vivid colors. With a high level of technical virtuosity Keifer creates a new sense of reality with textures and colors that seem to add lighting effects and distinct shadows, confronting the viewer with new interpretations of familiar objects.This one-of-a-kind 30 inch square original artwork is a photorealistic composition created with acrylic paint on canvas. It is wired and ready to hang. The sides are painted black and it does not require framing. It signed by the artist on the front of the artwork. Free local Los Angeles area delivery. Affordable Continental US and global shipping is available. A certificate of authenticity is included. Kathleen’s paintings invite the viewer to consider the complex relationship between time and timelessness. It is the sheer visual interaction between the elements, taken in their bare simplicity that interests her. For her, painting captures the very essence of time and its passage. She believes that actual sites and places have an individual magic. The goal is to take objects from popular culture and paint them in a new narrative context. Her complex approaches to popular board games present the subjects as living, tangible objects. Her interest took her to paint bits and pieces of board games. Her husband had been designing and inventing board games for thirty years, and her homes and studios are filled with games and playing pieces. She is fascinated with the response these board games (and bits and pieces) evoke in us as adults. Sure there’s the tug of childhood and nostalgia, the innocence of playing a game with clear rules and clear winners. But somehow these board games live in an unconscious dream-realm where they represent something more than the detritus of playtime. All the while she is painting them in the context of living in Los Angeles, a cultural capital filled with pop art and pop culture.Born and raised in Chicago, Kathleen Keifer is a second-generation artist. Her mother, also a fine artist, exposed Keifer to the world of art and supervised her training from a very early age. This legacy continues today as Keifer closely nurtures the development of the artistic leaning in each of her three daughters, inspiring a third generation of female artists.REPRESENTATIONArtspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CAEXHIBITIONS2023“Postcards From Nowhere”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2022“The Comforting Familiar”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2020“Midnight Blue”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2018Morris Inn, Notre Dame, INMalibu Beach House, Malibu, CABon Voyage, Coda Gallery, Palm Desert, CASolo Exhibition, Jeffrey Breslow Gallery, Chicago, ILArt Palm Springs Fine Art Fair, CAArtspace Warehouse, CA2017Affordable Art Fair New York, NYAffordable Art Fair London, UKArt Palm Springs, CA“Pop Futurism and Abstraction”, Artspace Warehouse, Los Angeles, CA2016Susan Schomburg gallery, Santa Monica, CAJazz in the Pines, Idyllwild, CA2015Official artist of Chitag, Chicago Toy and Game Fair, Chicago, IlJazz!
