PHILADELPHIA, PA-

Unseen is a group of paintings that are distillations of photographic imagery. These thinly layered paintings conjure the anticipation of a moment or a memory of something briefly unveiled. The sources from which the images are gathered involve snapshots, newspapers, Youtube-stills or whatever possible place or thing reveals itself as uncannily familiar. The paintings possess a subtle degree of pictorial dissonance, which suggest potential encounters that may happen – or be missed entirely.  

Keith Crowley has lived in Philadelphia since 2001 and Unseen will be his first solo exhibition as a member of Tiger Strikes Asteroid. Crowley previously exhibited at Bridgette Mayer Gallery from 2008 - 2013. Crowley received his MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design and his BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design Art Education Studies: Mansfield University, Mansfield, PA. His work has been exhibited at Fjord, Fox Gallery: The University of Pennsylvania, The National Constitution Center, OCMC Second Space, PA, TSA/New York, Perkins Art Center, NJ, Alagon Gallery, IL.

Currently, Crowley works as a Preparator at the Princeton University Art Museum.
