How Artist Kelly Reemtsen Explodes Notions of Femininity
In Salon Series Short & Sweet Ep. 3, artist Kelly Reemtsen shares the roots of her work?s explorations ? traditional gender roles.
Elena Frampton here. Despite busy days at the helm of Frampton Co, I never take for granted how the power of women has been a driving force in the studio?s success (shout out to my brilliant women-led team and the creative collaborators I have the privilege of working with every day!).
We?re now in the third episode of our ?Short & Sweet? digital conversation series. For this latest 6 minutes of joy, I?m excited to introduce the imaginative and multi-faceted contemporary artist Kelly Reemtsen, who shares the roots of her work?s explorations ? or should I say, explosions ? of traditional gender roles. Watch:
Our candid conversation found a shared resistance to the ?boxes? that society tries to impose, revealing the unique ways this has played out in each of our careers. Tune in as we get personal ? from the shockingly outdated notion about women that spurred Reemtsen?s current art series, to (surprise!) joining in on her morning commute.
Reemtsen dials in from her massive, sun-drenched East Los Angeles studio. Her paintings, which simultaneously marry and contrast traditional notions of femininity with classically masculine objects, have an interesting provenance.
