ICE FLOES RESPONSE

Fashioned in response to Monet’s (1893) series Ash Keating’s Ice Floes Response first opened in the gallery At The Above, Melbourne, in parallel with the artist’s exhibition at Museum Langmatt in Switzerland. Ice Floes Response merges the past, present and future in an exploration of the environment, time and form. Transmuting Monet’s signature soft dappling of light into three dimensionality Keating indents a topography of presence. Sanding, brushing, scrubbing, painting and hosing; Keating’s work is a labour of tenacity. A rough terrain of adding and subtracting captures the duration of ice through its dimensionality. What once was whole, glittering against the winter sun is now eroding, flaking off and drifting downstream.

A selection of works this series are exhibited within a temporary presentation in a private venue at Flemington Race Course.
