ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Three figures, two female and one male, are depicted on a bed at some stage of engaging in intimate activity. The chaos of the scene indicates that this process, though desirable and satisfying, whether between a married couple or among unattached partners, is never without complications and unrevealed baggage. The title, something of a tongue-in-cheek double entendre, refers to the fact that such scenes take place behind closed doors all across the country (and world) frequently and continuously, though rarely referred to, or even acknowledged publicly. 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
