Adrienne Kinsella

Adrienne Kinsella works in a variety of media, focusing on drawing and painting.  As a California native, specifically from the Los Angeles region, a continual pondering of the issue of place and access, and often access denied, is a continual thread in her subject matter. Her work examines relationships between interior and exterior, with and without, whether expressed in literal spaces or the privacy of an ambiguous mental landscape. Strategically omitted elements within the work play upon these themes and allude to the issue of loss. 

Kinsella’s drawings are often rendered on frosted mylar, a semi-transparent substrate that echoes recurring themes of transience, and the dichotomies of public vs. private. Her vulnerable self-portraiture emerged out of the isolation of the Pandemic and has continued within her art practice. Deeply concerned with the potential of narrative in art-making, Kinsella utilizes representational imagery as a potential means of synergistic connection between artist and viewer. 

Kinsella lives and works in Los Angeles.
