CV

Keiran’s practice expresses a relationship between weightlessness and intensity; a reflection fleeting pleasurable feelings which are never wholly contained.

The marks shapes and colours are an exploration into a mythology of colour, presenting an attractive and passive invitation not unlike a flower.  My works are vibrant entities influenced by the constant sensory bombardment of modern life, natural, built and felt. Stripping context and figuration to create a tangible living abstract; they leave behind external reference in favour of an aesthetic independence. They are pendants for your thoughts, projections, subjects and figurations - and convent the lightness and joy of the act of creating. 

Keiran was selected as a finalist in the inaugural National Emerging Art Prize 2021 and the 67th Blake Prize 2022. He was represented by Sketch Collective Gallery at the Affordable Art Fair Sydney and Melbourne 2022 and 2023

He has been exhibiting works since 2014 in group and solo shows with his works in private and corporate collections.
