Talking Heads
Internationally renowned sculptor, Christy Keeney, studied ceramics at the Royal College of Art in London. After spending 17 years in London, Christy returned to his native Donegal where he now lives and works with his family.
His sculptures have a strong narrative quality that invites you to contemplate the story behind the work. He sculpts and draws into slabs of wet clay creating heads and disjointed figures that investigate the human condition.
His forms often extend to the point where sculpture and drawing meld. He uses washes of colour to denote mood and atmosphere, whilst sometimes opting for a monochromatic palette to heighten the form's impact.
