Ash Keating has established himself as an internationally renowned artist with his awe-inspiring paintings that capture the grandeur of entire buildings and vast walls. Unlike many others, he has mastered the unconventional use of fire extinguishers as a tool in his abstract works in public spaces, allowing for spontaneity and improvisation. Drawing inspiration from the vibrant light and colors of his native Australia, his vibrant paintings feature fluid, vertical gradients that evoke a profound sense of longing. In a remarkable public performance in August 2023, he transformed the former caretaker's house in the park surrounding the Museum Langmatt into a colossal, three-dimensional artwork. To complement this presentation, he will exhibit new paintings scattered throughout the park, engaging in a dialogue with the French Impressionists from the museum's collection within its historic interiors. This publication offers a comprehensive exploration of the artist's diverse oeuvre and serves as a documentation of his exhibition at the Museum Langmatt.
