McKee’s process is a combination of photography and painting. First creating the photograph, then printing it onto the surface (canvas, wood panel, hand-made paper, etc.) by use of a photographic emulsion. McKee spends the majority of time working with oil paint to bring out the desired expression in his works. To experience the works in person is to realize the depth, layers and subtlety created with the oil paint married to the photographic emulsion. The final work is neither a photograph, nor a painting, but something directly in between with the qualities of both.
Born in Phoenix Arizona, Casey McKee has exhibited his work throughout much of the United States including: New York, New York; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Scottsdale, Arizona; Atlanta, Georgia; Minneapolis, Minnesota and Chicago, Illinois; as well as London, England. In addition McKee’s work has been collected by several major and private museums. He now resides Berlin, Germany.
