ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Glimpses of human body elements randomly show through in abbreviated snippets among the larger, more colorful passages of pigment (some themselves morphing into expressive human faces, parts of torsos or genitalia shorthand) in this roughly textured collage and oil paint landscape of the mind. The title, which on first reading summons the image of an artist's visual depiction of his anatomical rear end, is in actuality an allusion to my past, both in reference to my entire life, as well as to what went into the making of this specific piece of art. In seeing this painting coming together under my hand, I wanted to remind the viewer of the process, and consequently its importance, that went into the making of the piece. The racy implications of the the title's initial reading, though, visually supported by the quasi naughty imagery of some of the oil paint passages, suggests a hanging bon mot which is not without merit. Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.

Don Keene
United States
Don Keene's paintings are bold expressionistic renditions of a ‘Red Light’ district that lurks in the subconscious. Evading time, place and definition, these vignettes represent a freedom of will from judgment while the colors and lines that portray unabashed passions saturate the composition with frenzied force. - D. Domick Lombardi Don Keene is a product of Pasadena's Art Center College of Design and the graduate program in Studio Art at The College of New Rochelle. His concerns with the human figure are less illustrative than they are metaphoric. His abstract accumulations of paint and form investigate the relationships we have with our bodies. The investigative dialogue he orchestrates deals with how and why human experience is confounded by primordial passion and desire within a free society that confuses sensuality, sexually charged imagery, emotive content, feelings of personal tension and self-consciousness, and the role of eroticism and pornography. It is the incongruous nature of this content that, for Keene, is in need of exploration. The resultant paintings and drawings on canvas and paper are purportedly abstract yet feel sexual. - William C. Maxwell
