HOW IT BEGAN
A notable artist, Keith's work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions at Sebert Galleries (Sydney), Interiors Art Gallery (Islamabad), Lalit Kala Akademi (New Delhi), The Arts Theatre (Port Moresby), Galloway Galleries (Brisbane) and Coldstream Gallery (Ulmarra).
His work was featured in the recent exhibition 'Keith Pickard: Retrospective' (2016) at Grafton Regional Gallery.
Despite exhibiting at many galleries over the years, KeithPickardArt was created by Keith's daughter as a way to showcase his artwork to the world.
THE PROCESS
Keith's photorealist works are inspired by his travels during the 1980s. He was particularly inspired by the scenery and people in New Delhi, India, where he spent time with the locals and studied sculpture at the New Delhi College of Art.
Keith's surrealist paintings begin with eerie, darkened backgrounds. Beyond knowing which emotion he wants to portray, he will not have concrete plans for the scene. The process involves placing the canvas flat on the studio floor and spilling a mixture of acrylic and oils over it. Eventually, patterns and swirls emerge on the surface.
Once dry, Keith looks for shapes and begins to conceive ideas. He selects his favourite shapes and will turn them into bizarre figures and forms. The works result in an odd contrast between watery acrylic paint and sharp, geometric figures, yet produce a calming, coherent balance amongst all of the elements on the canvas.
