Shelly Floyd is the founder of Foldism, a groundbreaking art movement that transforms paint into sculpture. Known for her textured, dimensional abstractions, Floyd challenges the boundaries of traditional painting by folding, bending, and shaping pigment into living form. Her process begins with acrylic paint itself, which she layers, lifts, and sculpts into fluid structures. The resulting works are not confined to the flatness of canvas, they rise, crease, and curve, capturing motion, memory, and emotion in every fold. Floyd’s Foldism speaks to the duality of human experience: fragility and strength, chaos and order, tension and release. Her work invites viewers not just to look, but to feel, to step into an encounter with paint as presence, not picture. Drawing inspiration from disruptive pioneers like Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, and Damien Hirst, Floyd positions Foldism as the next chapter in contemporary abstraction. Her art has been featured in exhibitions and galleries across the United States, attracting collectors who seek not only bold aesthetics but also cultural significance. By founding Foldism, Shelly Floyd has established herself as both an artist and a movement-maker. To collect her work is to participate in a living evolution of art history, one fold at a time.
