KELLY BEEMAN

SUMMER
September 6 - October 14, 2023
Kelly Beeman’s Summer debuts a series of paintings and works on paper that depict subjects partaking in summertime
idling. In this exhibition, viewers are transported to various everyday settings, including malls, parks, and zoos. These
compositions often feature attire predominantly of Beeman’s own conception or adapted from vintage styles, which, while
continuing to serve as a vehicle for character delineation, also re ect a departure from extravagant designer fashion.
Beyond clothing, her works increasingly bring into focus the dynamics between gures and their immediate physical
surroundings, offering a nuanced exploration of interpersonal relationships and environmental context. Beeman's creative
process is outlined by meticulous planning and re nement, resulting in visually captivating and harmonious subject matters
that elicit both pleasure and suspicion, as they convey idealized, static depictions of youth and beauty, akin to the
seductive nymphs and sirens depicted in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, seemingly immune to the imperfections and
discomforts of reality.

Kelly BEEMAN
(Oklahoma City, OK, USA, b. 1983)
Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

Beeman has garnered recognition for her distinctive oeuvre

characterized by a fusion of visual storytelling and fashion aesthetics.
Despite never formally studying art, Beeman embarked on her artistic
journey at a young age, sketching and painting scenes that initially
served as imaginative play with her siblings. Her upbringing in
Oklahoma City instilled in her a profound longing for exploration and
adventure, eventually leading her to relocate to New York in 2004.
During this period, her practice was marked by spontaneity and
emotional catharsis, re ected in her loose and expressive style.
Following her completion of a sociology degree at Hunter College,
Beeman embarked on a transformative period of living abroad,
notably in Bolivia and Argentina. This geographical detachment from
her homeland precipitated a signi cant shift in her creative approach,
propelling her towards gurative compositions that recounted
personal narratives, from her memories of New York to her formative
years. Her artistic evolution also witnessed a distinct emphasis on the
portrayal of character and mood through elaborate and often carefully
crafted clothing designs, attracting attention from the fashion industry
and establishing her as an illustrator of note.
