ABSTRACT IMAGES

Abstract Images is a collection of photography with colorful paint and a huge fish tank as subjects, made by New York-based artist Kim Keever – that reminds us Alberto Seveso and his beautiful works. This series has been exhibited in numerous collections across the States, such as MOMA in New York City. Speaking about the process behind, the artist said: “It took me about two years of imagining what it would look like to totally simplify my working process. When I finally tried just dropping paint into water and photographing the results through a 200 gallon aquarium wall, to my amazement, the paint dispersed in so many interesting ways. (…) Even after 20,000 shots I can’t predict which will be completely successful and only a fraction are printed. But I have accepted the lack of control and embrace the randomness.”
