 As an artist, Kaia is continually striving to make a lasting record of a fleeting state of mind. She employs concrete tools; metallic paint, complimentary colors, abstraction of elements, to try to capture a feeling evoked by the natural world. Raised in a family of artists, Kaia ran away and went to law school. Finally, after trying many paths she came back to art, thankful for having been raised in the studio with full time artists.
In her words, “My paintings are never the same as reality nor, are they ever meant to be. They are about conjuring sensation; heat, light, texture, a breath of air, a dream of a place. In each painting, I hope to draw forth my essential moments and convey a little of their potency to the viewer. Summoning illusion, and conjuring magic is what putting paint to canvas means to me.”
Since returning to art Kaia has shown in various venues in the state of Colorado, including the Artists of the San Luis Valley show at Republic Plaza, Denver, The Snake River Chamber Orchestra, The Harvest Restaurant, a one woman show at BOOM Gallery Denver, Crestone Artisan’s Gallery and various studio shows and festivals.
Kaia Dercum’s paintings will be on display for the months of January and February at the Shumei Gallery in Crestone. A gallery talk and reception with the artist will be held at the Shumei gallery on Sunday January 16th starting at 3pm to 5pm. Please join us. Refreshments will be provided. Call 256-5284 for further information. |
