About The Artwork
Three figures, two male and one female, each appear submersed in their own thoughts in various stages of erotic bliss across an imaginary bed-like surface. The woman, legs spread violently, nevertheless appears unaffected by the close proximity of the one male's rapturous embrace of her leg, while the second male, at the bottom of the canvas with his eyes cast downward and away from the other pair, seems detached, pointedly removed from (and possibly jealous of) the provocative liaison in progress above and behind him. The intertwined activity of this trio, while suggesting various possibilities, and though up for interpretation, hints at an eventual explosiveness of emotions and feelings, and possibly actions. The title hints at the perverse nature inherent in a desire, depicted sexually here but in other areas as well, to benefit from something one loves or covets, rather than cherish and protect it. 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'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
