Artist Statement

Enigmatic Wonder

About the Artist

Kurt Ketchum’s work can be described simply as an amalgamation of art and design. Inspired and infused by overlooked or discarded idiosyncratic typography and printer’s marks or numeric cataloging systems as well as torn or distressed paper or plastic from everyday grocery packaging or post-consumer waste from mailed items and dumpster dives or random found remnants. In any case the work depicts a visual vernacular that mimics the extra ordinary existence of the artist’s everyday experience. It is in a sense the cheap equivalent of an autobiographical documentary of a life that has touched many facets common to the urban landscape while consciously countering with the expansive natural landscapes and the commonalities and contradictions that ensue.

Artists Submissions

Axom Gallery and Exhibition Space reviews artists proposals on an ongoing basis. We accept submissions for two and three dimensional works, new media and installation. All submissions are reviewed for possible solo exhibitions and group exhibitions. If you do not receive your proposal materials back within three months of your submission it is because we would like to keep the submission on file for future reference. Materials will only be returned at this point if specified in submission with self-addressed stamped envelope. Please note that we are not responsible for any materials that are sent to us.
AXOM also accepts submissions by email. Email our gallery Director Rick at rick@axomhome.com

If you are working on a body of work that is not complete or not begun, but you would like to submit for a show in the future, please send images of previous work that show your quality and aesthetic and include a written proposal and sketches (if available) that represent the proposed body of work for submission.

More Art & Artists

 

Our region has a wealth of talented artists who create original high quality work. Axom home is unique because we actively explore the connection between Art and Design and the vibe that is created when they visually intersect.

With each exhibition, we enjoy mixing the artwork and with our modern furniture and carefully crafted solid wood case goods to create inspiring room vignettes.
