Brigitte Martha Keller

Insightful and compelling, works by Polish artist Brigitte Martha Keller pull us in with crisp images laced with surreal scenery and characters. The artist frequently deals with opposing concepts like fantasy and reality, innocence and doom, or faith and disbelief. Using both digital and traditional photography as a foundation for her work, Keller digitally manipulates the images, seamlessly adding new elements in Technicolor hues and heightened contrast. Her work is profoundly psychological, speaking in allegory while employing the visual trickery of deep perspective and skewed proportions to create psychosomatic spaces, similar to Van Gogh’s "Night Café". Keller’s artworks are haunting and beautiful, giving us the sense that we have stumbled down the rabbit hole into epic events already set in motion. And here, nature is not passive window dressing but an active force. She explains her inspiration, "My stories revolve around the conscious and sub-conscious memories, dreams and fears of a humankind."

Keller's work is shown frequently in Germany and she recently began exhibiting in the United States. She lives in Germany
