Meet In-Between Universe Painter Kyle Kilty

Published Sat, 02 Nov 2024 17:28:00 GMT

Artist Kyle Kilty identifies his work’s subject as the places and images, psyche and mediums of “in-betweenness,” and his monumentally scaled mixed media paintings embody that energy in the sweeping scope of their detail-rich chromatic fields. The work is also liminal in its emotional effect, being both hefty and grounded, but also attentive and obsessive—a closer approach to their topographical surfaces reveals such a proliferation of varied gestures that one can’t help but imagine the labors of their creation. Poured, marked, scratched, sketched, brushed, revealed, concealed, expressionistic, precise, fractal, figurative, evocative, elusive, geometrical, geological, patterned, pictorial. Even the figures which do arrive are enacting movement and multifaceted symbolism by their presence. Kilty’s work is now on view as part of the Hammer’s Made In L.A. 2023: Acts of Living biennial, where his approach resonates with its themes of performative processes and meaningful materiality.Kyl...

(Photo by Brittany Murray, Press-Telegram/SCNG) In June, the American Civil Liberties Union released a study on the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department that used 2019 data and found that roughly 80% of all interactions between deputies and the public were for traffic violations.
