About the exhibit:

The “Duality In Bloom” series represents the human experience through fluorescent surreal nature scenes. Each 24 X 24”painting portrays one single larger than life flower. That flower is a symbol of you – the viewer – as you navigate and grow through life’s many complex challenges and accomplishments. Human beings are multifaceted from the inside out, and there is beauty within every inch. The good – the bad – and everything in between.

To further enhance the ever changing state of the human mind, the use of fluorescent paint changes the colors of each painting when exposed to various spectrums of RGB light.

 

About the artist:

Based out of Huntsville Alabama, Kelly Hammann (also known as Queen Kel The Creator) is finding her place in the vibrant world of conceptual veristic surrealism. Having come from a family of artists, Kelly has been creating in a variety of different artistic mediums for over 20 years. It wasn’t until 2020 that she began her professional career journey with acrylic painting, experimenting primarily with subject matter and vibrant color. Since then, her work has evolved tremendously, bringing whimsical fluorescent elements into surrealist scenes to create eye-catching luminescence. Kelly’s work embodies her interest in romanticizing her life through art and love of color in her dreamlike juxtaposed pieces.
