Media: Painting, Other

Using the automobile as a point of reference, Cheryl Kelley continues her exploration into issues of gender, power, and freedom. Through exquisitely rendered canvases, Chrome displays the luminosity and mystique of the automobile that has captured the imagination of so many since its inception. Juxtaposed to her previous exhibitions of all muscle cars, Kelley's introduction of luxury sports cars like Porsche and Bentley creates a conceptual dialogue of modernity’s influence on design, social trends, technology and taste.
Chrome is a precarious conundrum between commodity and community, demonstrating Cheryl Kelly's deft ability to oscillate between pure documentary of design, beauty and political commentary.
Cheryl Kelley lives and paints in Houston TX, and received her BFA from the University of Houston in 1992.
