Artist Statement:
Allyson Keehan
Statement Dec 2010
My practice oscillates between
painting and installation.
Predominately painting
representational paintings of
drapery, however I’m also
interested in the process of
the pieces and their elaborate
set-ups and installations,
which are further documented
in photographs and cataloged.
My process is hugely impacted
by the studio space through
controlling and manipulating
the space for each painting's
set-up. The two major concerns
in the work are space and
light. I’m interested in how
changing one element in the
set-up can change the whole
body of work. Recently working
with blue and white lighting,
I create an engaging abstract
dimension to the work.
Currently, I’m focusing on
geometric shapes in the
material which exaggerate the
abstract quality in the
paintings, and occassionaly I
integrate singular objects to
distrupt the uniform
landscape, so textures and
solid forms juxtapose the
subdue flow of the drapery.
These objects are both
concealed and revealed within
the drapery. This intricate
composition establishes the
visual dialogue around the
painting.
