"From his Lexington studio, David Kaiser creates non-representational works through a sustained process of dripping, layering, carving, and constructing. The paintings feature organic shapes and lush grounds, merging elements of drawing, printmaking, planning, and serendipity. Color emanates from beneath the surfaces, emerging through deep grooves cut into dried acrylic slabs. Thick chunks of paint, resembling rock fragments, are embedded on the canvas surface like geological specimens. In HEAVYOCITY, Kaiser demonstrates the elasticity of what “painting” can be. Kaiser earned an MFA and BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, focusing on painting, drawing, printmaking, and sculpture."
