About this artwork

“Celestial Drift,” a unique acrylic painting from 2024, measures 24 by 48 inches and is currently valued at $3,300, residing in New York, NY. This piece offers a visual exploration of the cosmos through abstract expressionism, capturing the ethereal beauty of astronomical phenomena. The artwork features a background of soft cream speckled with black, creating a sense of infinite space reminiscent of the night sky. This vast backdrop is dramatically punctured by an array of chaotic black and grey forms, suggesting distant nebulae or swirling galaxies. The striking red and orange bursts mimic the fiery energy of stars being born, providing a vivid contrast to the somber tones surrounding them. The title “Celestial Drift” reflects the painting’s dynamic nature, as it portrays the slow, graceful movement of celestial bodies across the universe. This movement is subtly suggested through the fluid blending of colors and the organic spread of textures across the canvas, evoking the continuous flow of cosmic matter. This artwork is a profound invitation to contemplate the vastness and beauty of the universe, rendered through the tactile medium of acrylic. The layering technique used enhances the depth and complexity of the view, encouraging the observer to delve deeper into the visual spectacle and discover the layers of meaning within. Ideal for those who are captivated by the mysteries of space and the beauty of abstract art, “Celestial Drift” serves as both a decorative piece and a source of endless fascination. It challenges the viewer to think beyond the earthly realm and consider the grandeur and serenity of the cosmos.

About the artist

Gina Keatley, a prominent artist based in New York City’s bustling Bushwick neighborhood, finds inspiration not only in the vibrant city streets but also amidst the serene landscapes of Italy during the summer months. Her body of work serves as a testament to the power of abstract expressionism, weaving narratives through the dynamic interplay of monochrome and the lively infusion of mandarine orange hues. In Keatley’s art, viewers are beckoned to embark on a journey into the depths of human emotion, where color serves as a richly nuanced language, illuminating narratives etched within the bold, sweeping lines of her canvases. This distinctive use of color—both restrained and evocative—creates a connection that is simultaneously introspective and visceral. This spring heralds the debut of Keatley’s highly anticipated Untamed Moderns collection, coinciding with the release of her latest book, “Essence of Orange,” which delves deeply into the significance of color within the realms of art and culture. These endeavors underscore Keatley’s steadfast belief in the transformative power of art—a dialogue between viewer and canvas that both challenges and inspires. For Keatley, art transcends mere exhibition, offering instead an immersive journey that celebrates the resilience and vibrancy of the human spirit. As she aptly expresses, “Art is a layered narrative that unfolds with each viewing. It’s not just about aesthetics; it’s about the human experience.” Each piece within the Untamed Moderns collection serves as a poignant ode to humanity’s capacity to endure and evolve, conveyed through the minimalist yet profoundly expressive language of modern art. Through her art, Keatley seeks to convey the inseparable bond between art and human resilience, offering viewers an experience that is both enriching and transformative—a testament to the enduring power of creativity in our lives.
