SIGNED AND FRAMED ABSTRACT 6 COLOR SCREENPRINT BY TRICIA KEIGHTLEY, 2020

Signed and numbered edition of 159 by Tricia Keightley six 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 and the Millay Colony for the Arts. In 2012, Keightley received a commission from New York’s Metropolitan Transit Authority’s Arts for Transit program. Recently, Keightley was included in “Take Five”, a show of five women working in abstraction, at the University of Buffalo in New York. Keightley exhibited her first large-scale video in this show as well as paintings.
