| Description | Summer Front is a monumental painting that owes its non-figurative aesthetic and highly-energetic gestural mark-making to the abstract expressionist movement. Large areas of paint are applied and scraped away, showing the artist’s emphasis on spontaneous, automatic and subconscious creation. The resulting image of this action painting is not only a picture but is also the record of an event. The painting’s all-over composition illustrates the influence of the abstract expressionist style on the artist. Keller’s choice of colour is rich and saturated. The painting’s monochromatic palette is limited to tints and shades of brown, suggesting an earthiness, and metallic gold paint begs a spiritual interpretation. |
