The Abstract series is my latest body of work. Though they still have some resemblance to the Landscape work, paint patterns and color are the main issues as they form random shapes swirling through the water among the wires and plaster cones.
The wires and vertical shapes remind me of a repeating dream. It begins while standing outside admiring a glowing sunset. Upon raising my arms, I casually fly along a few hundred feet above the ground. The experience is exhilarating but eventually telephone poles and wires appear and make my route more and more difficult to navigate.
I have found a painting by Kim Keever entitled “sunset in ghent” in my house and i actually live in Ghent! Are there any resources for his older works,from the 70′s?
Dear Brian,
“Sunset in Ghent” is a silkscreen print I made when I lived in Ghent in the 70′.
There are many paintings and prints from that period in my life. I moved to New York in 1979 and am still living and making artwork here.
all best,
Kim Keever
