Preparation K - Keegan McHargue

Preparation K by Keegan McHargue / 28-page paperback, 7.7 x 10.1 inches, published by Nieves in Switzerland / ISBN 9783905999549 *** A collection of recent colored pencil drawings by artist Keegan McHargue. Preparation K is a fresh peek into the artist milieu. The drawings takes us on a provocative behind-the-scene journey examining the many layers of the self and society. Classic themes of night/day, work/play, inside/outside intertwine with current news headlines and history to create an openended narrative. From cover to cover, Keegan’s kaleidoscopic vision keeps you itching for more. As a painter, sculptor, choreographer, and musician, Keegan McHargue is concerned with the tension between tragedy and comedy that lies behind the banality of everyday life. McHargue’s semi-abstract mixed-media paintings and colorful assemblages blend identifiable figures with objects of the artist’s imagination; he is particularly inspired by music for his use of color and abstraction.
