« I have been drawing as far as I can remember. As a necessity that has accompanied me in my personal evolution, I find lightness through my art. My drawings are interpretations of everyday observations transformed into whimsical escapes from the crevices of my mind. There is a constant connection and exploration of how each of my drawings portray characters that represent strength, beauty, nonchalance, curiosity, valor, and even magic. While the materials I use in my current work are ink and paper, the ideas behind my art are primarily surrealist in nature. The spontaneity in my artistic process, composed of biomorphic elements, is an automatic expression of my subconscious. In my art, I create my own world of fantasy where I invite the viewer to move into a speculative state of wonder and they are left with their own interpretation of the lines. » Secret thoughts...

Cramer, who owned this work. Hand signed inscribed and dated 'JOAN COLLINS VISITS GEMINI!

Cramer, the renowned Hollywood producer who acquired it directly from Ellsworth Kelly; Joan Collins signed the work for Ellsworth Kelly. From May 6–June 25, 2022, the Matthew Marks gallery put on an exhibition of Kelly’s postcards which were also the subject of a 2021 exhibition at the Tang Teaching Museum at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs. Perhaps more than any other work by the artist, Kelly’s postcards illustrate his use of found compositions — from nature, architecture, art history, and popular media — to create his singular, abstract forms. Kelly’s appetite for visual inspiration is manifested in these modest works. “What I’ve tried to capture is the reality of flux,” he stated, “to keep art an open, incomplete situation, to get at the rapture of seeing.” Measurements: Framed 11.75 inches vertical by 13.25 inches horizontal by .75 inches Card Collage...
