“Can’t Get You Out of My Head” is the title of one of David Keating’s new drawings in his recent solo exhibition, Segmentary Bodies. The lyrics from Kylie Minogués aging pop melody contrast strikingly with the image of a breast made of bricks. The repeated “La-la-la-la” of the song complements the rhythmic use of the brick as a recurring motif.. from review. READ MORE.

For David Keating, the first lines applied on paper mark the beginning of how the viewer comprehends imaginary space. This then starts an interplay between soft and hard, internal and external, positive and negative spaces, and from here we see both order and disorder develop.
Fascinated by the idea of comprehending sculptural objects as three-dimensional lines and expansive drawings. The content is encoded by a set of geometric rules to be simply seen as enclosed rooms, walls and ceilings - or what Keating describes as “containers” that become vessels to contain forms that define their contents.

Drawing is a ‘disjunction’ because, in this case of a picture, having both a (real) surface and a (virtual) space constitutes its binary nature.
