Description
Ian McKeever's Henge Paintings is a recent publication by one of Britain's most senior artists working internationally. The book documents his series of paintings, inspired by prehistoric standing stones in Wiltshire, England, and explores the languages and possibilities of abstract painting. In 2016, McKeever visited the neolithic site at Avebury, where he took photographs of the large stones that form three discrete circles. This experience had a profound impact on his work, leading to a body of paintings that investigate how paint can convey universal forces such as mass, gravity, and time. The book features thirty paintings along with numerous works on paper, offering an earnest and considered exploration into the relationship between color, texture, abstraction, and three-dimensional space. Through his Henge Paintings, McKeever continues his long-standing investigation into abstract painting, producing a unique and thought-provoking body of work that is both personal and universal.
