The Last Picture Show, at the Stour Gallery, Shipston-on-Stour.
Sadly, this is the last exhibition at the gallery, as, like so many others in the last few years, it is closing down.
Christy Keeney, Flat Head
Keeney lives and works in County Donegal.
'I see my work more as 3D paintings than sculptures or ceramics. The form is built up and sketched till almost flat, like a canvas, ready to take the drawing, which will outline the head or portrait. These flat heads represent ordinary people. They are a study of the many varied features and expressions that make up the human face. The figures usually attempt to express the human spirit in its many forms. I like to work with the clay blindly, letting the moment dictate my progress. When I see the form develop to some conclusion, then I'll add the features'.

How sad that the gallery is closing - but great that you have shown appreciation for their efforts, for the artist's work, and for the quality of your own life. Two splendid pieces.
ReplyDeleteSo many galleries are closing down, Olga, its awful. Internet shopping is some of the reasons given, but it's not the same, is it?
ReplyDeleteI am very pleased with the Keeney pieces - he's one of my favourite ceramicists.
