To this day I am amazed that such considerations do need not to be tethered to anything else to make a complete, awesome painting; however I increasingly felt pigeonholed by being a “pure” abstract painter. This propelled me to search out subject-matter fitting for my love of abstract painting. My first conscious source of inspiration was science. There is a long line of abstract artists influenced by scientific ideas and imagery – Hilma af Klint to Sarah Sze. I believe this strong connection has to do with the expansive imaginative space provided by worlds unseen to the naked eye, exactly why I first turned to it (and because scientific visualizations tend to look abstract). Microscopic images became important to my painting when I decided I most wanted to work on the line of where life itself becomes definable. In keeping, I painted simple organisms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1553713438793-XBZXQAEYTL9FN6MDBN9A/MeInLabBandW.jpg Bio I got more into the science than expected. I first notched up my scientific interest with popsci literature until I found I needed to go even further to satisfy my curiosity. I am after an in depth understanding of the molecular world and to be in on the cutting edge of scientific discovery, which I have been fortunate to be able to do in my Ph.D. research investigating the role of a molecule in social learning and memory at Brandeis University. Initially, I thought I had to give up being an artist to meet the demands of my new path, but the years of not-being-able-to-quit-painting have caught up. I have overcome the need to select between my identities and realized that I am a painter and a neuroscientist. In actuality embracing both heightens the importance of each practice holds and I’d like to think enriches all forms of my work. I no longer need to source inspiration, it’s present. I have also found myself drawn to other subject-matter such as the urban landscape, which I have begun combining with scientifically inspired abstract works. https://www.katiekimbrell.com/leveled-land-meets-the-mystic daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1553657572046-PE2UKMNK9YO40I4QCH1S/KKimbrell_Leveled_Land_Meets_the_Mystic.jpg Leveled Land Meets the Mystic Leveled Land Meets the Mystic, acrylic on canvas, 24” x 30” https://www.katiekimbrell.com/waterfall-rocks daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1553656784993-FMZD2WDU7VNXYBIVT16U/WaterfallRocks Waterfall Rocks Waterfall Rocks, acrylic on canvas, 48” x 72” https://www.katiekimbrell.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-04-22 https://www.katiekimbrell.com/simple-organisms daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1553655659034-WJM5SVNYO97VQ5Q3EJWR/SimpleOrganisms.jpg Simple Organisms Simple Organisms, acrylic on canvas, 48” x 60” https://www.katiekimbrell.com/interoir-madeira daily 0.75 2019-03-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1553714331145-NRAV76M1OPOZGW4LZ3QU/InteriorMaderia Interoir Madeira Interior Madeira, acrylic on canvas, 16” x 20” https://www.katiekimbrell.com/large daily 0.75 2019-04-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c4653874eddeceaf51d56e4/1555959938156-PC35P1O3DAFOB8P6TLVG/KKimbrell_Sumac_Pioneers.jpg Larger -
