ARTIST’S STATEMENT

67 Portraits

67 Portraits is a series of expressive portraits unified by a limited palette, honoring my friends and colleagues lost at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods on the 88th and 89th floors of 2 World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Most of the reference photos used to create these portraits are from the New York Times “Portraits of Grief” series and the Voices Center for Resilience, supplemented by KBW community-sourced memorial imagery. This series is my offering to them.

Each painting is 16 x 12 inches— all sixty-seven are the same size and format. They are distilled, expressive interpretations that simplify form, remove backgrounds, and present each person within the same visual language, with the intention of honoring them as individuals while also conveying the sense of a community lost together.

The paintings are rendered in a limited palette of warm taupe, dusty rose, and pale blue — reminiscent of the clear blue sky that morning — so that when hung together, they appear bathed in a warm light.

We were such a young firm. Beautiful people in the middle of their lives, with families and friends who loved them, and colleagues who will never forget their faces or laughs.

It is my intention that the sixty-seven paintings remain together, as a unified field of remembrance.

Katie Ré Scheidt is an abstract expressionist artist, primarily working in acrylics, gouache, oils and charcoal. A sumptuous palette and dynamic approach to painting contribute to Scheidt’s style. Uplifting and lyrical, her work is unscripted and often left in a state of dynamic incompletion. Scheidt’s work is about letting ideas flow with the suspension of judgement.
