About the Item

Kristy Chettle (American, born 1968) "Red Barn on the Ridge" 2024 Oil Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the back of the painting. In “Red Barn on the Ridge,” Kristy Chettle harnesses the force of abstraction to suggest place without defining it. A bold orange shape anchors the composition—part structure, part memory—amid a flurry of brushstrokes in crimson, violet, slate blue, and chalky white. There’s a flicker of horizon, a trace of roofline, but it’s the emotional architecture that holds. The painting pulses with motion, yet something steadies it—perhaps the barn, or perhaps what it represents: permanence in flux. About the Artist: As a California native (b. 1968, Los Angeles, CA), Kristy Chettle’s paintings explore reflective and thought-provoking themes of nature, transformation, and self-empowerment. Using only her hands and an occasional palette knife, she paints in multiple layers, sometimes scraping off the paint with her fingers only to reapply a new color later, resulting in a deep texture and raw motion. Occasionally, she scrawls her thoughts and emotions into the canvas or uses recycled paper or old screens to catch the next layer of pain, enhancing each piece's depth and visual interest. Each element is thoughtfully considered and placed as a reflection of her life and experiences. Working primarily with complementary colors, her paintings are lively and raw, with color vibrating throughout from layers deep within the work. Kristy has been a professional abstract artist for many years. Her artwork hangs in the homes of those who appreciate art that reflects expressive motion and color with thick layers of texture and meaning. Inspired by some of the greats—Picasso and Van Gogh in particular—she aspires to replicate the depth and life that their works portray.
