A Careful Balance: Ky Anderson

Posted on August 7, 2013

I’ve been working on a freelance art curation project for a healthcare installation– which for this one means looking at a lot of stock photography.. yesterday it was flowers & marshes, today, fitness photos.  So you know what makes me super happy right now?  Some fantastically awesome abstract paintings!  These abstract works by Brooklyn artist Ky Anderson are all about balance and relationship and they are speaking to my stressed out little mind!

Anderson uses simple lines and forms, intertwining them in his compositions so that everything feels just cautiously balanced.  Like a game of Jenga, it seems as if the pieces of the whole are carefully placed so that each is supporting the other.

The artist continues her balancing act in his chosen palette,  softening dark black lines with creamy pastels and translucent blues.  Each piece a study of careful balance.

I highly recommend you check out more of Ky Anderson’s work on her website.  Each piece more lovely than the next!

    Hi Artsy Forager, I know this is such a late response to this post, but Ky Anderson is actually a woman! She creates some marvelous work, we certainly love it here at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts.
