One
of the things I like about Richard
Killeen, the New Zealand contemporary artist, is that he often creates
works that let their owner be part of the art.
What I mean is that his cut out works – which are made up of individual
pieces with a little hole in them for having – each piece will only hang one
way but how they are arranged is entirely up to the person hanging it.
Even
in his more conventional works, there seem to be mainly collections of shape
and colour.
Killeen
is far from a one trick pony but I have to admit his cut-outs are my favourites
– although the paintings in a jar are great, too.
If
you would like to read more about Richard Killeen, there is a book by Francis
Pound "Stories we tell ourselves" (1999, Auckland Art Gallery) which
is about Killeen's paintings.
very cool! I love the designs! Have a happy Sunday and be sure to check out my blog! .
