About the Item
Suspension of Disbelief is one of the paintings from Daniel Kettlehut’s Karma and Rebirth series, exploring how perception and meaning are shaped by prior conditions. Rooted in the Buddhist concept of dependent origination, the work reflects the interplay between past, present, and emerging forms.
Layered glazes and subtle opaque passages allow traces of earlier imagery to remain visible, creating depth and resonance. The limited palette of white, black, grey, and red emphasizes contrast and tension, while the red introduces moments of emotional intensity. Drips and flowing gestures suggest movement and impermanence, reinforcing uncertainty. Hovering between abstraction and figuration, the painting invites viewers to release fixed assumptions and engage intuitively, experiencing the cycles of transformation, concealment, and emergence that define the series.

Born in Freeport, Illinois in 1966, Daniel Ketelhut is an emerging painter who currently resides in San Diego, California. Ketelhut graduated in 1990 from San Diego State University with a BA in Art, emphasis in studio art, and was recognized with distinction in his major. The otherworldly subject matter of his imaginative, colorful paintings is largely self-generated. Depicting strange, biomorphic creatures and fantastic realms, it often explores the themes of mystery and transcendence. In addition to his formal education, Ketelhut is self-taught, which he considers to be just as important. His work has been seen in several solo exhibitions as well as numerous group shows both locally and nationally. His work is included in both national and international private collections. “I draw and paint to lift the veils of everyday and catch glimpses of a world which seems strange and unfamiliar, but is reflective of what is in many ways a more substantial reality – the inner, subconscious world available to all of us.” – Ketelhut
