Roger Kellman - Fire and Ice
This series by Roger Kellman began in 2024 with Fireside, a 47” by 24” painting with warm red, orange and yellow covering most of the canvas. Initially hung over the fireplace.

Fireside (47” by 24”) SOLD
The stretched raw canvas substrate allows the acrylic paint, with liberal application of water, to penetrate and spread smoothly creating a calm and contemplative grounding. Unpainted areas remain and the paint continues around the wide edges of the canvas giving the viewer an unlimited horizon in all directions and expanding the visual and emotional impact.
The second painting in the series, Solar Flare (30”x35”), starts with the same warm colors but adds darker purples for a new dimension and intensity, plus a few hard edges in contrast to the blended warmer areas.

The third painting, Ice Blue #1 (20”x20”), switches to a cooler pallet of blues with a bit of warmth provided by browns and a faint touch of yellow. Drips and runs are allowed to provide a new textural dimension. The view remains unconstrained as the image goes to the paintings edges – and beyond.

Ice Blue #1 (20”x20”) $80
Sun Spot (25”x25”), returns to the warmer colors broken in one corner with an intense blue. The area of bright yellow and red fights to break thru the multi-dimensional foreground and appears to melt portions of it.

Solar Storm (24"x30"), an explosion of brightness in a troubled sky.

Purple Rain ( 42"x19" ) presents a series of cloud like structures floating across an undefined sky with streams flowing downward.

Melting (30"x20") shows the effect of the suns warmth on the winters freeze.
