Based just outside of Nashville, TN, Kesling explores human intimacy in his paintings, both romantic and familial. His work delves into “the emotional and psychological intricacies of intimate relationships, personal loss, and our place in the natural world” (Artist Statement). During his ON::View Residency with ARTS Southeast, Kesling will create large-scale mixed media paintings of figures in landscapes, drawing inspiration from nature and “the power it imbues to unite us all…presented as both a utopian/dystopian scene of nostalgia and invention” (Project Statement).
