Keith Scanlon

KEITH SCANLON BUILDS LAYERS OF PAINT TO CREATE DEPTH AND INTERESTING SEGMENTS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PIECE THROUGH THE IDEA OF PUSH-AND-PULL. CREATING THIS SENSE OF PUSH-AND-PULL CREATES A DYNAMIC SENSE OF DEPTH, MOVEMENT, AND SPACE THROUGH THE USE OF COLOR AND SHAPES AS OPPOSED TO REPRESENTATIONAL FORMS. HE MAKES ACRYLIC PAINTINGS COMPLETED WITH FLAT EDGE MATERIALS INCLUDING A BRAYER AND GELLI PLATE. CREATING HIS PAINTINGS GIVES HIM THE CAPABILITY TO GENERATE SOMETHING THAT HAS NEVER BEEN SEEN. THE INDIVIDUALITY OF EACH PIECE IS CREATED THROUGH UNIQUE MARK-MAKINGS AND COLOR COMBINATIONS. THESE TECHNIQUES CAN RELATE TO EACH VIEWER'S PAST EXPERIENCES TAKING THEM BACK TO A TIME OR PLACE, OR CREATE A BRAND NEW EXPERIENCE.
