Ash Keating: Gravity System Response
Featuring six of Keating's most spectacular works.
Overview
With an airless paint sprayer, prominent Melbourne-based artist Ash Keating creates towering works that emanate with colour and radiance. Entitled Gravity System Response, Keating first began the much-loved series in 2015, but over the last two years has continued to add more and more works, with the project now totalling 60-plus paintings. Newport's The Substation presents the exhibition featuring six of Keating's most popular pieces which best exemplify his immaculate intermixing of colour, while also demonstrating the meticulous process of painting, layering and waiting to apply each coat.
For more than a decade Ash Keating has exhibited extensively across Australia and internationally, showing his large-scale work in both galleries and site-responsive and collaborative art projects. His art explores a range of social and environmental issues, such as systems of production and consumption, climate change, urban gentrification and waste and sustainability.
