Kelly Worman is a Fine Artist living in Chelsea, NYC.
"Kelly Worman’s new work is a lesson in frantic expression. Every mark is pregnant with the want to explore and boggle. There is a muscular and emotive quality to the work. It appears labored yet instantaneous simultaneously. In applying chance and intuitive improvisation to her mark making, there is an immediacy present in her exploration of gesture, color, rhythm, and space. A twisting and shifting of the plane is made evident by varying weights throughout the panel, furthering the push for disorientation. Her work is at once a delight to observe as well as a dizzying trial- a difficult dichotomy to achieve."

I look at the Unconscious Mind Calendar series as a journal or diary of sorts. I am documenting, and collecting these visual depictions of a moment in time. By arranging a logical, or glass box, set up, I give myself a somewhat controlled situation. Within these constraints, such as a fixed set of materials (acrylics, oil sticks, charcoal, graphite), a process is then set in motion that has unpredictable results, becoming a completely black box procedure. Everything is then created intuitively. The stopwatch starts, but there is no time limit. It just happens to be that each piece takes under six minutes to make. The movement is fluid across the paper. Sometimes this becomes an aggressive action. Bundles of scratchy lines can form. Other times it becomes calm and minimal. Masses of color and line interact. Sometimes these shapes are centrally located and other times continue well off the page. The body interacts with the materials on an intimate level. I work on the floor hunched over the paper, moving around the piece. Occasionally I close my eyes. I work with both hands. My hands and arms sometimes act as the brush to move paint around. If I stop moving, I consider time to be up. The finished piece acts as a record of a moment.

"Kelly Worman, a young and up and coming multi-talented go-getter, has her fingerprints all over the NYC art world - and this is just the beginning. She is well versed in the Chelsea art scene as a gallery director, artist, and curator. She is also currently working on her MFA with a concentration in painting. Unlike art, sleep is an option rather than a necessity for Kelly. She is curating "Introductions" as well as exhibiting her own artwork. Her work is inspired by urban art, human emotion and psychology, industrial development, and the evolution of a woman. The art world has only just seen the beginning of Kelly Worman." - Taylor & Mackenzie Fine Arts, 2010
