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.
