Kelly Puissegur Prints

A quick glance at Kelly Puissegur’s Saatchi Art page shows almost every painting has sold out.

That’s why we’re showcasing Kelly Puissegur prints instead (though Saatchi Art still has a few of her original paintings for sale) as they offer such great value from as little as $40 for an 8″x10″ print.

If you’re not sure about print quality check out my review of buying prints from Saatchi Art which should ease any concerns.

Puissegur is an Los Angeles based artist whose inspiration comes from humour in films, music and the peculiar idiosyncrasies of everyday life.

Freeeedom!

What I like so much about Kelly’s work is the carefree freedom she allows her imagination. A dog in place of a head? Sure. A tree person carrying a polar bear on its back? Of course! It’s this childlike instinct to trust her creative impulse that make these Kelly Puissegur prints so refreshing, funny and unique.

So much of our lives demand a certain censoring of ourselves so we can slot nicely into the established cogs and wheels of acceptable society.

The art of Kelly Puissegur takes those cogs and wheels, paints them in the brightest colours possible then invites her animal friends round to play on them.

A roller derby with monkeys wearing stripey tops isn’t a bad reminder not to take our lives so seriously. So many compartments of our daily lives can be cause for amusement when you look at them long enough.

I love that Kelly Puissegur likes to work on her paintings on the floor. It echoes that childlike immediacy. Why bother with the grown up conventions of table and chair or artist’s easel when you can get straight down to business right here on the ground.

It’s way more fun this way.
