Kelly Ording's precise line work and abstracted geometry has a quiet strength. Her works on paper are demonstrate her intentional and intuitive mark-making. There is a meditative quality in her scale and execution. The collection of works on paper and canvas demonstrate her linear qualities while highlighting her ability to create work that is both abstract and representational.
This body of work blends organic and geometric shapes with exact lines, pairing intuitive and mathematical mark-making. Each piece begins with a dyeing process, setting up a composition based on the natural result of this process. From this point, the work is created either with deliberate intent or created intuitively, each step determined by the step before.
Artist:
Kelly Ording is an Oakland California based painter whose work encompasses a broad palette and a wide range of media. From muted tones to vibrant colors, pen and ink drawings to paintings, each piece intentionally pushes the limits of minimalism and representation. Employing simple repetition, geometric patterns and marking to evoke represented subjects to the viewer, Ording strikes the balance between representational and minimal compositions. Ording’s use of dyed canvas and paper takes the paintings beyond a purely abstract image by creating depth and nuance. In addition to exhibiting her paintings worldwide, Ording has numerous large-scale public works throughout the Bay area and internationally including San Francisco’s landmark Clarion Alley and Palega Park Recreation Center.
