This is Me

25 April 2024

Participating: Anthony Keogh

I love working with colour and the tension of objects, people, and images in an everyday environment. My paintings are not structured and start as a seed of thought, becoming a journey of exploration and enjoyment. I revel in the crudity of application and colour, breaking as many conceptual rules as possible. I am inspired by colour and people within architectural spaces and enjoy re-contextualizing images from classical art into my spaces. I do not plan the layout of a painting and do not have pre-constructed working drawings, but rather allow the painting to grow as I work. Painting into the unknown.
 
I believe paintings are like words, powerful, prophetic, and personal, reflecting something of the artist but also of the viewer. And so, I paint my story onto the canvas, not with words, but with colour, shapes and images and when completed and you look deep enough, it says something to someone. I am influenced by numerous artists and structure my artworks by re-contextualizing existing images and combining them with my own, in a setting of exaggerated perspective, proportion and colour.
