Previously hosted an art exhibition at the Simon Lee Gallery Hong Kong in conjunction with two other artists, we were particularly drawn to Keogh’s sharp approach to painting with abstraction.
Born in Spenard, Alaska in 1982 and lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, Caitlin Keogh’s graphic works are filled with vines and knots as representations to veins and intestines. Her works vibe with a strong inspiration from the designs of William Morris and the Art Nouveau style, where the illustrations are “persistent, invasive and rampant habits of their motifs”. Able for the audience to piece out pieces of a woman’s body, her “decorative hysteria” depictions “occupy overgrown psychedelic or psychological space, at once saccharine and sinister.”
