Callie Campbell: True Colors?

Callie Campbell, Caught Red-Handed, 2023, 36 x 24 inches, Acrylic on canvas.

Artist’s Statement:

Campbell’s abstract style is used to convey the raw and intense experiences of this stage in life, with vibrant colors and rich texture. One of the most striking elements of her work is the way each painting appears as one color on the surface, mirroring the supposed simplicity of adolescence, but when examined closer, the intricacies and layers can be better seen representing a much more confusing and complex time. The artist’s work serves as a reminder that the experiences of adolescence are not always as they seem on the surface. Visitors can expect to see a powerful display of self-expression and the struggles of growing up in the 21st century.
