Artist of the Month
The
art of Kathleen Keating was displayed from February 3 through March
2, 2008.
Artist's Statement
Memory, Mimesis, and the Florence Academy by Kathleen Keating Daniel Graves, the FAA director, told me that "art is like organization -- a recipe to express once the rules are learned." The rules of drawing at FAA were honest, open, and simple, but extremely difficult to master. I learned the importance of accurate proportion and how to measure and then check my drawings for accuracy. I had the opportunity to slow down, and really look at what I was drawings. I might spend up to fifteen hours drawing the contour of the figure, beginning with large shapes and then moving on to smaller ones. Physically, the classes were demanding. Students were only permitted to draw while standing. The observational position was always the same and artists marked a position with tape on the floor. From this same place and distance, I measured and memorized my mark making on the drawing board. The learning experience at FAA has fundamentally changed the way I approach my art. I now understand the nineteenth-century principles and techniques of representational art and can apply the methodology with confidence. The artist would like to thank the following individuals and organizations for making this exhibit possible: O'Niell's Pub, George Farr, The University of New Mexico, Roland Rodriguez, Daniel Graves and all the instructors and life models at the Florence Academy of Art, Florence, Italy, and the Factory on 5th Art Studios. All proceeds from this exhibit will go to the LIVESTRONG Foundation. Any local artist is encouraged to display their art at O'Niell's Pub. Art is displayed for one month, during which we host an Artist's Reception so the public can meet the artist. Contact art08@oniells.com to set up an interview. |
