Caren Keyser

Caren Keyser’s unique style derives it’s subject from the paint itself as she works intuitively from her imagination where the acrylic paint creates excitement from abstract lines and brushwork. Much of her work is on Yupo, a glossy synthetic paper. It is within the initial field of color that Caren Keyser discovers her subject. Much like a sculptor, she reveals the figure bit by bit until all the components of the work settle into place. When that artwork tells a story or expresses an emotion it is perfection.

Caren Keyser has enjoyed a long career as an artist after studying fine art at Florida Atlantic University where she first began painting with acrylics. Over the years, as she moved from photorealism to expressionism to abstract, she has been honored with many awards and participated in many juried exhibitions.The current work focuses on exciting brushstrokes, lines, and color. For Caren Keyser, it is important to always push her work in new directions, including figures in the paintings. Frequently working without a reference source, she allows the paint to guide her as a subject rises out of the paint itself. It could be little more than a gesture or she may develop the subject more while retaining the nature of the brushstrokes and lines that take [email protected]
