Ken Beckles
I am an abstract painter and also an accomplished photographer. It may be that this immersion in dual mediums influences my unusual approach to both. Due to my unique vantage point when photographing everyday objects, each is imbued with significance as standalone contributors to the natural world, but my paintings further transform them, envisioning how they might manifest in a different dimension once given color and alternative form. While this might suggest an association with abstract art, it is my ability to see objects differently and create a unique representation of each which is the hallmark of my work. The palettes, which I mix myself, consist of color combinations rarely utilized by others. While Initially an Intentional signature, this approach Is now deeply permeating within my dynamic style of painting. My influences are as varied as life Itself which creates a deeply personal aspect to my art.
