Kelly Devrome’s studio practice is informed by architectural space which she uses as a historic and metaphoric vantage point for the context of her work. Her recent experience as a resident living in Kuwait City in particular has significantly influenced this body of work, of abstract paintings and works on paper. Devrome’s subtle yet rigorous meditation on abstract form evokes a sense of allusive space beyond the surface - of light and shade, deep and flat and absence and presence.
