About Ken Feldman
Biography
Ken Feldman paints at the edge of representation and abstraction, translating the high desert
landscapes of Northern New Mexico and the seascapes of the Yucatan Peninsula
into fields of poured and brushed color. Rather than depicting a place literally, his paintings
isolate its structure and light — the geology of a mesa, the heat-haze over the Rio Grande,
the saturated blue of a Caribbean shallow — and let pigment behave the way wind and water
behave on the land itself.
A recurring thread in his practice is the Climate Series, a body of work responding to
extreme weather events with the same poured, gestural language he uses for landscape,
treating disruption as another force shaping the visual field.
Feldman holds an MA in Art Education from the University of New Mexico and a BFA from
the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He maintains a studio in El Prado, near Taos,
where he is represented by Gaucho Blue and Gallery 110 and sells to collectors
across the United States and internationally.
