KEYSTONE HEIGHTS— The Santa Fe College Art Gallery is displaying the works of Melrose-based artist Chris Teasley through Oct. 27.
The college said that Teasley, originally from Kansas City, Missouri, creates non-objective works through a unique process combining traditional painting techniques with air-blown pigments.
Teasley said that in his past works, the air-blown images were the primary focus of the paintings, typically supported by solid color fields as constructs to display the images.
“My current work reflects further refinement of technique in an effort to both inform the basic composition and provide a monochromatic underpainting,” Teasley told the college. “This allows me to make many more painterly decisions regarding color, tone, and texture, and in some cases, to directly quote the historic while preserving non-objectivity.”
