conscious intuitions: casey
matthews
hi isavirtue readers! my name is lesley frenz and i write and
curate an art blog, artsy forager. having been an art lover and
student all my life, i left behind over 15 years of arts industry experience to
start my blog while following my new hubby and living a vagabond life across
the u.s. pacific northwest. finding fabulous artwork is my passion-- hope you’ll check out my artsy
foraging!
there are some artists whose work i connect with intellectually, aesthetically or emotionally. then there is that rare artist whose
work hits me on all three levels and i’d like to introduce you to one such artist,
casey matthews.
the art-loving intellectual in me
looks forward to each new work from casey. i’ve been a fan of her work for a few years and over time,
she has developed a distinct artistic style and language. repeated forms add a familiarity to new
work yet each builds upon previous work in terms of sophistication and
proficiency. it is such a pleasure
to actually watch an artist’s work evolve. she just keeps getting better and better!

of course, aethetically, the
appeal should be obvious! these
are beautifully rendered abstracts with luscious texture and visual rhythm
showcasing long periods of melodious harmonies punctuated by staccato notes of
frenzied color and clandestine graphics.

but what really keeps bringing me
back to casey’s work is their emotional pull. something about the intermingling of organic shapes and
muted colors punctuated by rapturous bursts of color and brushstroke speak to
my soul. like a beautifully
written song, they are a perfect blend of melody and harmony.

you can see more of casey’s work
on her website and more reviews of her work on artsy forager. thanks so much to kaitlyn for letting me share the work of
this incredible artist with you! hope you enjoyed this little peek!
Oh I love these! Do you happen to know approximately what they go for?
