David Keating: A Sun In His Head
-
For David Keating, the first lines applied on paper mark the beginning of how the viewer comprehends imaginary space. This then starts an interplay between soft and hard, internal and external, positive and negative spaces, and from here we see both order and disorder develop.
Fascinated by the idea of comprehending sculptural objects as three-dimensional lines and expansive drawings, A Sun In His Head is the latest solo show by Keating. Simple in both medium and form the exhibition exists as a series of new work on paper and canvas. The content is encoded by a set of geometric rules to be simply seen as enclosed rooms, walls and ceilings – or what Keating describes as “containers” that become vessels to contain forms that define their contents.
