Rivalry Projects

Final weeks! Stop by to view Kyla Kegler: The Last Whole Earth. The exhibition closes on Friday, June 19.

Kegler utilizes the grid as an organizational structure, freeing her to focus on relationships between material, color, texture, and mark. Finding the grid’s sharp right angles pleasureless, she regards the armature as a container to decorate and disobey. She utilizes interference paint, gouache, beeswax crayon, shellac, chalk, and pastel, along with textural materials like coarse pumice, to create layered surfaces that shift with light and the viewer’s proximity.
