Medium: Colored pencil on paper
Debbi Kenote’s colored pencil on paper works are a vibrant display of color. Her fluid shapes take on a more floral motif in some, while others stick to the wacky tiled structure of much of her body of work. Working from a grid, she begins by creating her shapes intuitively and building from there. The textures depart from cloudy planes that are present in her painted work, embracing the scribbled marks of colored pencil instead.
Works in NYC
Debbi's works are sneaky in a sense that, instead of denying the existence of a frame, they subtly push against and peak out from it (have you noticed the pairs of eyes in some of her paintings?) Neat square pieces on the outer boundaries of the frame devolve into patterns, curves, and patches of sprayed paint. Some of Debbi's paintings actually look like puzzles, challenging you to play an active role - only to reveal that, in the end, her puzzles yield fun for the sake of it rather than a finished picture.
