Clouds of Color
April 16, 2026The Sumter County Gallery of Art proudly presents this year's Art in Bloom, featuring abstract photographer Kim Keever.
Billowing colors explosively collide in Kim Keever's (1955-2025) abstract photographs. The imagery is as beautiful as it is technical. Trained as an engineer, Keever uses precision and innovation to compose his photographs. The artist strategically drops specially prepared pigments into a large aquatic tank, creating dynamic, random movement to achieve his desired compositions within the glass walls. After photographing through the glass, Keever crops the images to achieve his desired compositions. In this process, dualities emerge: the images exist in a space between chance and control, between explosiveness and grace.
