Resolute - Keith Lane
This sculpture is the latest in a series of small sculptures representing the pregnant female form. In this version I have attempted, by using contrast - hard/soft, manmade/natural, found/ handcrafted, flowing/angular, to show the contrasting grandeur and vulnerability of pregnancy. The found materials are various metals rusted and discarded, manipulated and re imagined. The figure is carved from myrtle wood and the base clear epoxy resin. I found a delight in the juxtaposition of each disparate material to form the harmonious whole of the female figure.
Bio: Keith Lane is a practising artist living in Deloraine, studying Fine Art in London before migrating to Australia in 1989. His main practice is painting and sculpture but has also worked as a building designer and visual Arts teacher alongside his art practice. Lane is represented in private and public collections in the UK, Australia and China and has been a finalist in Glover Prizes, Sulman Art prizes and Doug Moran and been engaged for public art projects in Sydney Olympic Park. Currently represented in Tasmania by Gallery Pejean, Launceston, Nolan Gallery, Hobart and Art Atrium Sydney
