This June, Bau-Xi Photo is pleased to show the selected works of Kim Keever, the newest addition to our roster of photographers. Keever is an internationally acclaimed artist based in New York, known for his colourful large-scale abstractions, which he creates by pouring paint into a 200-gallon tank of water in his studio. Keever uses his large-format digital camera to capture the resulting clouds of colour as they swirl into different forms and diffuse themselves through the water.
About the artist: in the mid-1970s, Keever changed career paths, switching from working as a thermal engineer for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to fulltime artist. His previous vocation continues to inform his work today, lending scientific methodology and investigative process to his artistic process.
Kim Keever’s work has been exhibited internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions. His work has been widely collected, and can be found in numerous public and private collections, including the Bank of America; Harvard Library; Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC; Museum of Modern Art, NYC; Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, DC.
