We focus on the innovative studio practices of artists Gregory Scott and Kim Keever for our feature exhibit at Modern Fine Art. Gregory assembles cast-filled productions for his videos complete with sets, props, and actors, including himself; whereas Kim manipulates dye and pigment interactions in large water tanks to reveal dramatic abstractions.
Kim Keever graduated in Thermal Engineering and was employed with NASA before devoting his career completely to art in the 1970's. His cloud-like abstractions have evolved from romantic landscapes to become his signature imagery. With the aid of a 200-gallon tank and an affinity for his previous vocation in the sciences, Kim pours paint into water to capture swirling forms with his large-format digital camera, and he prints these striking and colorful results in large scale.
Gregory Scott's images have always challenged the relationship between photography and painting, but in 2008, while working towards his graduate degree in studio art at Indiana University, he incorporated video, combining the three mediums and unveiling a new format to present narrative surprise. He addresses significant themes like identity and loss using humorous depictions of art history in museum and gallery settings. There is always at least one hand-painted element within the photographic framing that echoes the content of the video windows.
Editions are available for all the works showcased in our two-artist feature, please inquire with the gallery at info@modernfineart.com or call 212 717 9100 for details and pricing.
Gregory Scott was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1957. His work has been extensively exhibited and published internationally and acquired by notable permanent collections like the Columbus Museum of Art, OH; The Chazen Museum of Art, WI; The Norton Museum of Art, FL and the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, IL.
Kim Keever was born in NYC in 1955. Kim's photography is in numerous public and private collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York and the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY. Ray Waterhouse has successfully represented Kim since 2013, hosting shows in his New York and London galleries and at art fairs throughout the United States and Europe, placing Kim's work in many collections in the U.S. South America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Australia.
Most recently, Kim's collaboration with Dutch fashion designer Iris van Herpen can be viewed in an exhibition at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs at the Louvre, Paris until April 28th, 2024.
