Following a year of creative experimentation and marking a 
major transition in technique, leading mid-career Melbourne 
based artist Ash Keating’s new series expands the physical 
and psychological complexity of his work. 
 
These stunning new works have been formed by the application 
and manipulation of countless layers of media, including 
pigments, perlite, mica flakes, paint and water. 
Their surfaces hold an intense depth and richness and their appearance 
changes depending on the light and angle from which they 
are viewed. The series has a meditative quality that invites 
slow and reflective viewing. Created as an antidote to 
isolation and anxiety, the works encourage reconnection, 
reflection and solace.
