SUMMARY:Elisabeth Kley
DESCRIPTION:Claiming\, “I’ve always liked the idea of objects looking a
 t you\,” Elisabeth Kley produces exuberant ceramic objects and mixed-m
 edia drawings full of faces\, eyes\, and designs that suggest them. She is
  drawn to flamboyance\, populating her works on paper with fan tailed peac
 ocks and portraits of drag queens\, artists\, and fashion mavens\, includi
 ng Candy Darling\, Salvador Dalí\, and Coco Chanel. Her ceramics are c
 overed with bright colors and punchy designs\, reflecting influences rangi
 ng from Islamic tile work to Ballets Russes costumes. But all is not lig
 ht and happiness in her fanciful creations. Kley wrestles with mortality
 \, keenly felt and inevitable\, in all of her work\, whose keyed-up colo
 rs mask darker emotions: “Bright colors don’t always signify happiness
 \,” she says. “They can express other emotions\, perhaps exhibitionism
  and rage. They may also cover up things you want to hide.” – Artsy 
 \n\nElisabeth Kley is a New York artist and writer who solo exhibitions 
 of ceramics\, watercolors\, drawings and prints have taken place in the Jo
 hn Tevis Gallery in Paris France\, the Geogian National Gallery in Tbi
 lisi\, Le Petit Versailles\, several galleries in New York and around the
  world. She has also participated in many group exhibitions and was awarde
 d a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant.   \n\nSponsored by the Ceramics D
