Patrick Keesey "Recent Drawings"
Blackston
This event has ended.
The exhibition features over forty abstract small scale ink on paper drawings. Keeseyʼs drawings explore the tension between seeing and marking, and the fundamental balance and imbalance of these processes in making art. Rather than representing the subject, his drawings record the action and immediacy of seeing, itself. Remaining in the moment, Keesey notes the movement of the eye as it skips over a subject, focuses on one point, or changes subjects entirely. He draws as the eye looks, keeping his hand moving in pace with the eye as it observes. Without a predetermined idea of the resulting image, or direct concern for its representation, he responds to each subject intuitively. The resulting works are intimate meditations on the role of the artist in translating, adopting, enhancing or creating visual cues.
