Join us On First Friday, June 5th from 6-10pm for the opening reception of "No Kept Line" by Colby Kern! .
Show Statement: I resist the expectation that my work needs to resolve into a single theme. Instead, it reflects an ongoing practice rooted in curiosity, instinct, and the simple act of painting.
I move from one approach to another without any obligation to stay consistent. What connects these works isn’t a shared narrative, but shared attention. One day I am locked into color, the next could be composition, gesture, and texture.
What happens if I push this mark further? What if I K*ll this color with black? What if I stop now?
What if nothing is resolved?
Some pieces feel deliberate and others impulsive. Together they’re a record of me showing up and figuring it to as I go.
This is painting as it unfolds for me in real time driven by whatever holds my attention in the moment.

In our Lower Level Gallery is the 2026 Ozarks Tech Juried Exhibition featuring 21 OTC students.
