Claudia Keep

Claudia Keep’s (b. 1993) paintings reveal the intimate complexity of quotidian moments. Composed of soft lines and shapes, they convey impressions of the ordinary that are curiously lucid. Working from both life and personal photographs, Keep illuminates the intricacies of simple scenes: light falling in a quiet room, the shapes that a modest object casts onto the sidewalk, infinite beads of water resting in a spiderweb. This record of detail rescues the humblest of beauty from invisibility, by its nature an invitation to look more closely.
