Claire Kellesvig
A BODY OF WATER
February 8 - March 1, 2025
Claire Kellesvig is an intuitive painter who creates imagined landscapes rooted in emotion. By stenciling, and collaging uncountable layers of paint, fabric, paper, and glaze the paintings become a topographical map of accumulated time. She repeats the process until her paintings find their voice.
Kellesvig is a fine artist and curator living in Madison, WI. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in painting in 2011, and an MFA in painting and drawing from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2022, where she currently teaches as a lecturer.
