Bio:
Kelly Irvine (she/her) is an abstract painter living and working in Baltimore, MD. Her work explores the interaction of color and transparency to create visual depth and affect mood. She works primarily with thinned acrylic paint applied to raw canvas, enabling new colors to form where transparent forms overlap. She often sews painted canvas and sheer fabric together, allowing the sheer areas reveal the stretcher bars underneath, thus drawing the viewer into the depths of the painting.
Currently an MFA candidate at Towson University, Irvine received her bachelor’s degree in graphic design from University of Maryland and subsequently studied painting at the Yellow Barn in Glen Echo. She has mounted solo exhibitions at Touchstone Gallery in Washington, DC and at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Her work has been selected for group exhibitions at The Delaware Contemporary in Wilmington, Hamilton Gallery, Maryland Art Place, and Gallery 410 in Baltimore, as well as University of Mary Washington Galleries in Fredericksburg, VA, Martha Spak Gallery in Washington DC, the Delaplaine Arts Center in Frederick, MD, and at Glen Echo Park in MD.
Kelly is a 2023 Maryland State Arts Council grant recipient.
