| Keating’s latest works in the Overview series, are the
result of collecting photographs and video of unwitting subjects
from balconies in France, digitizing them on computer and painting
them on canvas. This series brings together many elements that
artists have explored throughout the 20th Century: abstract naturalism,
expressive realism, narrative painting, photography and video.
In each work, we find organic shapes of foreshortened figures forming
dynamic relationships with the patterns and walkways of their urban
environments. Opposing elements of photography and abstraction
somehow come together as perfect partners in this blending of 20th
century painting ideas; abstraction, expression and narration with
21st Century technology; digitized video, satellite surveillance
and internet voyeurism. Expressionistic mark-making depicts walking
subjects, stop-action, mid-step in thick paint that renders motion
in the form of video scan lines and pixel artifacts. Keating has
painstakingly selected the exact frame, from hundreds, that tell
us the story of each character, and rendered the digital nature
of each image in a painterly style depicting a privileged view
of a private moment. |
