GRO Artist Kelley Berg presents a two-part exhibition: All the Time in the World and Q is for Love, portraiture in painting, graphite drawing, and etching. Her work is personal, diverse, and expressive, exploring inspiration, love, longing, loss—and perhaps most importantly—human perseverance.
Berg writes: All the Time in the World addresses what I want most from those I hold dear, knowing too well how swiftly life moves ever forward. These solitary figures inhabit illusory space: touching on the physical and emotional edges of fleeting moments. Q is For Love is a series of copper plate etchings and drypoint prints in homage to queer artists and writers whose practices have informed, fortified, and animated my own. A few of them are alive today; all of them have managed to far outshine a stifling orthodoxy, and the world is richer for it. All gratitude to those indomitable makers!
My work is based on the drawn mark. Layering, texture, accident, and imperfection are constant companions in my work, and they also characterize my lived experience. They are dynamic teachers. The pieces are artifacts of my explorations with process and materials. The marks of the maker are purposefully kept in view like footsteps in the snow.
