    Beverly Kedzior is known for her organic shapes and richly layered abstractions. As a child she was enamored of animated movies and cartoons. She had books from those movies and traced and drew the images found in them continuously.

     

    In art school, variations of the organic forms she had been obsessed with as a child consistently appeared in her work.  When she discovered a genetic disorder deep in her family history, she searched for answers in  DNA books.  She found a correlation between the illustrations there and the bulbous images she was already using.  Mining ideas from animated film, cartoons and DNA textbooks, Kedzior creates pop paintings that merge these seemingly disparate elements.

    "My paintings are developed with formal structure in mind and an emphasis on material and process. Much of the imagery is gleaned from animated film and medical textbooks. So, as a critic once wrote, it is not an accident that some of my paintings resemble vivid, spongy and psychedelic landscapes that a space-age cartoon family might zoom through; or that others suggest Wassily Kandinsky meeting the Lava Lamp. The finished paintings stress color, texture and space through the use of traditional and non-traditional tools and printing techniques that include stencils, brushes, rollers, scrapers, masking and resist products. "

      Sunny Taylor + Beverly Kedzior

      INTERCONNECTIONS 17 Mar - 2 Apr 2023
      "Interconnections" brings together two artists’ unique perspectives and intersects a shared interest in the approach to their respective medium. Both Sunny Taylor and Beverly Kedzior explore the interplay between organic and geometric forms in their respective bodies of work, where contrasting materials and aesthetics are forced to coexist. Through bold color palettes, intricate patterns, and varying textures, the artists create abstract compositions that evoke a sense of dynamic movement and energy. Taylor and Kedzior aim to find harmony in discord, creating abstract works that resonate with the viewer on an intuitive level, highlighting their complimentary enthusiasm for process, materiality, and form.
