Tricia Keightley: Multiple.20

Signed and numbered edition of 159 by Tricia Keightley 6 color screenprint on 100lb French, 2020 This print, Multiple.20, is an example of the “mechanical abstractions” I paint by hand on paper or canvas. I improvise each composition using imaginary mechanical forms that evolve as the piece progresses. Inspired by technology and engineering as well as formal abstraction, I use a personal vocabulary of imagined rivets, support structures and counter-weights to “build” each piece. Free from actual function or specific identity, each completed composition is left open to interpretation for each viewer. Tricia Keightley is a painter based in Brooklyn, New York. After studies at Parsons School of Design and receiving a B.F.A. in Painting from the San Francisco Art Institute, Keightley has exhibited in the United States and internationally in solo and group shows. Keightley has been a recipient of a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting as well as a resident at MacDowell
