Artist’s Statement

“My work is inspired by the world around me, my life in the countryside of Putney, Vermont, and my time living in Mexico; a country of color and contrast.  

I am always looking, looking, looking.  It is most often color or a color relationship that moves me to try and capture the essence of my response to it.  Sometimes I work from memory or a thumbnail sketch, but the starting point is always something out there that catches my eye and moves me to look closer.  

Color is everything, weather I am working on a still life, a landscape, or a figure study.  Color has its own magic and energy and that is what excites me to work.  My paintings are sort of a visual diary of my life, capturing the places I have been and what I have felt there.”

-Carol Keiser

Biography

Carol Keiser’s collection of acrylic paintings presented in “Anniversary!” at Canal Street Art Gallery represent a selection of work from both the artist’s travels and studies in Mexico and Italy.  

Keiser’s work is driven by the study of color, color relationships and design.  The artist is rooted in the traditions of Fauvism and Post-Impressionism, with many of Keiser’s paintings making eulogies to the likes of Matisse, Picasso, and Bonnard.  Keiser’s still life’s with views of the landscape through an open window, and interior settings of particular arrangement seem to be nods to other artists such as Milton Avery and Nell Blaine.  

With colors and narratives which demand attention, and subjects of cultural, provincial and art historical significance, Canal Street Art Gallery is pleased to present the work Carol Keiser.
