Looking at you Painting

A line of colourful flowers have risen up to confront the viewer, their florets having become dead-pan staring eyes. Long stems undulate and gyrate, as if they have life of their own as do the animated tendrils. " Have a look for example at Keith Pointing’s oil paintings. Some of his paintings are so imaginative that you sometimes feel that you are flicking through a Dr Seuss book, but Pointing’s pieces are not aimed at young viewers. Have a closer look at ‘Plenty of Fish’, 2018. Here there is such a clever and witty play around the title and the female organs of the fish. Another one that makes you smile is ‘Looking at you’. The big-eyed fleshy flowers are definitely eying you up.  And ‘Life cycle’ has a hint of Dali-ness to it; like Dali, Keith also likes to place absurd encounters and objects in a mysterious landscape. So isn’t it a positive thing that artists inject their artworks with absurdity and humour? Can’t we all sometimes use a bit of escapism and laughter during our daily struggles? And when you hang your bit of escapism on the wall, it will always make you smile at the end of a difficult day." Tammy Woodrow
