Lot Essay

"Keltie Ferris's big, scintillating paintings recall a time a half-century ago when the introduction of a new style in abstract painting could be regarded as an event of seismic significance. Yet they do not appear retrogressive. They feel fresh, direct and very much of this moment. That is partly because they seem to picture a kind of visual experience that did not exist before the advent of digital forms of communication. Made with lively immediacy on canvases, they give the impression of computer-screen imagery breaking up into pixels and blurs."
Ken Johnson, New York Times, 13 December 2012
