Gina Keatley’s Work: An Anthology of Abstract Expressionism

Gina Keatley’s work, celebrated in the heart of New York City, presents an anthology of abstract expressionism. Her portfolio, marked by the deliberate interplay of monochrome and vibrant infusions of mandarin orange, invites an exploration of human emotion. This signature use of color—both restrained and poignant—illuminates the narratives etched in the stark, sweeping lines of her canvases, fostering a connection that is both introspective and visceral.

Cotton Candy Madagascar: Wildlife Reimagined

In her series Cotton Candy Madagascar, Gina Keatley reimagines wildlife interactions through abstract expressionism, blending monochrome tones with vivid splashes of orange. Her layered textures evoke the vibrancy of Madagascar’s ecosystems, emphasizing the dynamic, unpredictable nature of animals in their environments. Rather than literal depictions, Keatley captures the instinctual connections between animals and their surroundings, symbolizing coexistence, adaptation, and change. Through this series, she celebrates the beauty and resilience of wildlife, urging viewers to reflect on their role within this shared, evolving ecosystem.

Sow Series: A Bold Reflection on Persistence and Force

The Sow Series delves into the raw, physical exertion and tension inherent in the human experience, expressed through Keatley’s signature circular, stabbing motions across the canvas. While the title may evoke images of planting and growth, this series transcends nature, emphasizing the intense labor, struggle, and force required to make progress in any endeavor. Works such as Coal Petals, Stonewashed Stillness, and Spiral Surge embody the relentless energy of creation. Each piece captures a different facet of the human struggle—whether it’s the subtle endurance of time in Stonewashed Stillness or the aggressive, swirling energy in Spiral Surge. The bold contrasts between deep blacks, earthy browns, and vibrant splashes of oranges and pinks create a visual rhythm of tension and release, evoking both physical and emotional persistence.

Più: Passion and Innovation

The title Più (meaning “more” in Italian) highlights the idea of continuous growth, passion, and innovation. It reflects the pursuit of more—more opportunities, more connections, and more cultural exploration—capturing both the historic and modern Italian-American experience. Through this title, Keatley emphasizes the journey of Italians seeking a deeper understanding of their heritage while embracing new forms of creative expression.

Atmospheric Fauna: Exploring the Unknown

The Atmospheric Fauna series plunges viewers into the enigmatic realm of UFO and UAP phenomena. Composed of eight evocative works, this collection transcends conventional perception, bringing to life unseen entities. Keatley’s use of acrylic paint, shredded paper, and mixed media creates a rich tapestry of textures, evoking a world where the organic and mysterious intertwine. The series presents UFOs as living entities, pulsating with dynamic energy. Through monochrome shades and vibrant infusions, Keatley invites viewers to explore the hidden dimensions of our world, challenging perceptions and embracing the possibility of life beyond our planet.

Glimpse Series: Capturing the Ephemeral Essence of Emotion

Unveiled in Spring 2024, the Glimpse Series delves into the fleeting and ephemeral aspects of human emotion and perception. While sharing stylistic elements with the Bone Series, it emphasizes the transitory nature of our experiences. Dreamlike scenes and fluid expressions characterize this series, where vibrant splashes of color amidst subdued tones convey movement and transformation. The Glimpse Series challenges viewers to explore the transient beauty and emotional depth of fleeting moments, urging introspection and personal connection.

Bone Series: A Vanguard of Modern Artistic Exploration

The Bone Series stands out as a testament to the power of abstract expressionism and the profound narrative potential of modern art. This series, a highlight of Keatley’s Untamed Moderns collection, captures her unique artistic philosophy. Through the minimalist yet impactful language of monochrome and mandarin orange, Keatley explores themes of resilience and transformation. Each piece evokes strong emotional responses, engaging viewers in a reflective and transformative experience. The textural complexity achieved through acrylic and mixed media adds depth, making each viewing a unique encounter.

Gina Keatley’s diverse series—from the foundational Bone Series to the fluid Glimpse Series and the mysterious Atmospheric Fauna—collectively capture the essence of human experience and the unknown, making her a compelling voice in contemporary art.

"Atmospheric Fauna," a mesmerizing series by Gina Keatley, plunges viewers into the enigmatic realm of UFO and UAP phenomena. This collection, composed of eight evocative works, transcends the boundaries of conventional perception, bringing to life the unseen entities that lurk beyond the reach of the naked eye. Keatley's masterful use of acrylic paint, shredded paper, and other mixed media forms a rich tapestry of textures and contrasts, evoking a world where the organic and the mysterious intertwine. In "Atmospheric Fauna," Keatley abandons the traditional "nuts and bolts" depiction of flying saucers, instead presenting a vision of UFOs as living, breathing entities. Each painting pulsates with dynamic energy, capturing the fluidity and vitality of these otherworldly beings. Her brushstrokes, both vigorous and delicate, create swirling masses of light and shadow that seem to be in perpetual motion, suggesting the seamless transition of these entities between the sky and the water. The series is anchored by the profound narratives of historical figures who have shaped our understanding of UFO phenomena. Whether through the certainty of a military officer or the revelations of a whistleblower, each piece reflects a deep engagement with the hidden dimensions of our world. The titles themselves—"Zero Doubt," "Linda," "Phillip," "Jesse," "Christopher," "David," "Crlll," and "Affa"—hint at the rich tapestry of stories and secrets woven into the very fabric of the series. Keatley's palette, dominated by monochrome shades punctuated with vibrant infusions, creates a visual dialogue that is both introspective and visceral. The stark contrasts between light and dark draw the viewer into a contemplative space, inviting them to ponder the mysteries that lie beyond ordinary perception. The use of real animal hair, redacted documents, and dynamic splatters of paint adds layers of complexity and intrigue, enhancing the otherworldly atmosphere of the series. "Atmospheric Fauna" is not just a visual feast; it is a profound exploration of the unknown. Keatley's ability to blend historical significance with contemporary artistic expression makes this series a must-see for anyone fascinated by the mysteries of the universe. Each piece offers a glimpse into the hidden worlds that exist parallel to our own, challenging viewers to expand their understanding and embrace the possibility of life beyond our planet. Reflecting on her work, Keatley states, "Art is meant to provoke thought, to challenge our perceptions. I hope these pieces do just that." In "Atmospheric Fauna," Gina Keatley invites us to step into the shadows, to explore the unseen, and to reflect on the profound mysteries that continue to elude our grasp. This series is a testament to her skill as an artist and her ability to capture the essence of the enigmatic, making it a compelling addition to the contemporary art landscape.
