American artist Kellie Talbot, and her large-scale oil paintings, are in the member spotlight today… and the spotlight has a little more neon glow than usual! All of these pieces are part of Kellie’s upcoming show, titled “Thunderstorms & Neon Signs”, opening on Nov 1st at Patricia Rovzar Gallery in Seattle. Here’s the story:
“This last year, I traveled over 7,000 miles searching for neon signs around the country. When planning my routes and deciding which roads to take and when, I pay attention to the skies. A cloudy day or a sunny day can make all the difference when meeting a sign. I have to keep coming back because —though I do love a thunderstorm at my campsite—it is something quite spectacular to find a sign on a sunny day with perfect shadows just waiting there.” ~ Kellie Talbot
Road trips and art… what a perfect pair! If you’re in the Seattle area, this show will be up until November 26th. In the meantime, follow Kellie on Instagram at @kelltalbot.
