All about color and light ✨

[hapiart]

I’m constantly dreaming up new things and searching the world for inspiration. Sometimes a painting will show up in my mind fully formed and I will work as quickly as I can to get it out on paper before the image dissolves. Sometimes I have no idea what I’m going to make and I just pick up a brush and see what starts to happen, letting the piece become what it wants. I try to keep my mind open and grateful to these bits of invisible creative muses that I’m given. How do you stay inspired and creative? https://www.instagram.com/p/BtbNXpWA83Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrr9r3kmjy7z

“Evoking both frigid icebergs and tropical beaches, the allure of Kristi Kohut’s abstract works is their openness to interpretation, to be imbued with the memories and affinities of the viewer. Rippling lines of pink and purple surge through this transparent acrylic sculpture, with iridescence and luminescence both embedded in and embellished on with cut glass glitter. Watch as the work takes on different appearances depending on your viewpoint.” Swipe through to see more in this series. DM me with any questions! Love these but wonder how they’d live in your home? We love placing these on a bookcase, console table or end table. Their interactivity is heightened with the colors and objects that surround them, bringing in a bit of magic to your world. 💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtYhh_yAfKj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1i3rflk0znbkk

One of my favorites from 2018...love working on this series so so much. I begin by culling through magazines and found materials and combining these with my illustrations and photographs. These are then collages together and handcut into hundreds of flowers that I coat in acrylic and cut glass glitter and crystals. I shape these into 3D fliers and assemble them into layered compositions, encasing them like a jewel into a custom acrylic shadow box. I invite you to observe from far away and then to come in closer for a different perspective and hope to delight with surprise and hidden gems of color and pattern. Can’t wait to get back into my studio to work on my latest in this series. H What fun things are you working on this week? Anyone else feel like they need extra doses of color in these wintry months? ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUwOcDgEsm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lgc7da0qnoz4

I love working with different materials and mediums in my practice and pushing the boundaries...the idea of play and serendipity is so key....sometimes it works and often it doesn’t...but once in a while I discover something new and there is such surprise and delight with that. These sculptures are definitely one of my new favorites to work on...they are so interactive and I love how the iridescent layer and thickness reflect the different sides...this one is my largest yet...18x18...I’ll be releasing this one soon on my site but DM me for more details if you want in on it before ❤️💕 https://www.instagram.com/p/BtJI68MF6cP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xh63dh5ntg4a

One of my favorite projects from 2018...working with @cheriezuckerinc on art for a beautiful new lounge area she designed for a luxury upper west side condominium... working on the mural was my favorite ❤️❤️ Not shown is a stunning black and white mosaic floor in a large floral pattern that echoes the mural... love getting to work with such talented designers and clients that are so passionate and have such a strong vision for what they want to create ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BtGcg6zFzTw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e5rljexrfz6b
