New Painting Now Showing!

1/31/2016

'Hearts are Wild' acrylic painting on wood panel by Kim Lee Kho, 2016. This is a detail view only.

Here is a detail from my new painting "Hearts are Wild" now showing in 'RED' an exhibition which opened yesterday (Saturday January 30) at Renann Isaacs Contemporary Art in Guelph, Ontario.

'RED' is a group show of square-foot paintings by 50+ artists, all united by the colour red.

Among the group are artists I know and admire such as Kal Honey, Cole Swanson and Seth as well as luminary Ron Shuebrook, so I'm in excellent company!

If circumstances weren't preventing me, I would be working on more paintings in this vein (so to speak). I'll just have to figure out how I can keep thinking along these lines but in my sketchbook instead until I can get back into my studio.

If you have a chance to visit the show, please let me know what you think, whether in the comments below or via the contact form or on social media. It's worth the drive to Guelph!

Brand-New Painting

This little painting is fresh off the... well, it wasn't painted on an easel, so I guess I have to say table.

I'm too tired to be able to say much about it beyond what's in the caption, but it relates to my abiding interests in shape, colour relationships, layering and paint application.

I'd like to do more using the same process (one I've only dabbled in before), so we'll see what the schedule will allow. Hope you enjoy it :-)

New Year, New Show, of Newer Paintings

L to R, top to bottom: Around Again #1; Summer Spin; Broken Through; Radiant Salsa; Tempest; Magic Hour. Paintings by Kim Lee Kho.

Happy New Year!

To start 2016 off right, I thought I'd share these paintings they are in the faculty show at Neilson Park Creative Centre, in Etobicoke (Toronto), which runs today to Jan 31.

I've asked the centre to hang them in pairs as you see here, except for one painting (not shown here) that will hang solo.

If you click on any of these images you will be taken to a larger view of it on my Flickr page, where you can also see some nice close-up details.

All of these are small, 12" x 12", canvases or wood panels.

I use this size as a kind of painting journal, where I try things out, have painterly thoughts, make discoveries.

One of the newer (for me) ingredients I worked with in three of these was fluorescent colour. I've also scraped, scratched, masked, texturized, crackled, dry brushed, glazed and impastoed (though that's not really a word, is it?).

I hope you'll have a chance to visit these paintings in person.
