Preparation K is a fresh peek into the artist milieu. The drawings takes us on a provocative behind-the-scene journey examining the many layers of the self and society. Classic themes of night/day, work/play, inside/outside intertwine with current news headlines and history to create an openended narrative. From cover to cover, Keegan’s kaleidoscopic vision keeps you itching for more.As a painter, sculptor, choreographer, and musician, Keegan McHargue is concerned with the tension between tragedy and comedy that lies behind the banality of everyday life. McHargue’s semi-abstract mixed-media paintings and colorful assemblages blend identifiable figures with objects of the artist’s imagination; he is particularly inspired by music for his use of color and abstraction.Keegan McHargue has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, such as Jack Hanley Gallery, San Francisco; Deitch Projects, New York; Hiromi Yoshii Gallery, Tokyo; Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Paris; MACRO Museum, Rome; DESTE Foundation, Athens.
