Kelsey Isaacs (b. 1994, Los Angeles) lives and works in New York City, USA. Isaacs is a painter whose practice draws out the dynamic capacities of her medium, methodologies and subject matter. Working from photographs of scenes she stages and reframes across a series of compositions, Isaacs builds a visual language of dimensionality through contemporary material means that translates across conventional lines of trompe l’oeil and abstraction. Her use of photography and the repetitive variation that fast, digital media engenders, expands the slower conventions of representational painting to articulate an internal logic within the related sets of her work.
