Shipyard Burning Painting

Kaileigh Osarczuk was born in 1990 in New York where she continues to reside. Kaileigh Osarczuk says that her work "takes a new spin on the approach of a landscape painting," and to some viewers her bold acrylic on canvas works might not look like a landscape at all. Referring to several of her paintings as "Innerplacces," Kaileigh's stated goal is to let her pictures "become to subconscious places I enter while working." While the details of a tree branch or a sky may be apparent, her work often turns the elements of the outside world into a three-dimensional space. Their vibrantly physical presence has its roots in her skill at juxtaposing light and darkness, as well as her ability to work through all of the tonalities that a particular color palette has to offer.
