About the Item
“Everybody has that feeling when they look at a work of art and it’s right, that sudden familiarity, a sort of...recognition, as though they were creating it themselves, as though it were being created through them while they look at it or listen to it...” —William Gaddis, "The Recognitions"
“A great deal of my recent work was made during a time when I was reading the great American novel by William Gaddis, "The Recognitions," the most demanding book I’ve ever read. Along the way, I extracted sentence fragments that interested me and I pieced them together to make the titles for the last three years of my work. So, my recent work is linked to Gaddis’ novel through the titles, but also in the theme of “recognition,” which speaks to the nature of my work. I feel my way through various processes until I recognize a possibility―a possibility that is promising in terms of visual dynamics but also in terms of giving a body to some part of my experience. It is my hope that the viewer is compelled to recognize some part of themselves reflected in the work.” —Michael O’Keefe
Michael O’Keefe earned his MFA from SMU, Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and currently teaches at The O’Keefe Studio Center in Richardson, Texas. His series of paintings "Faces which Ring with Refuge" were included in "Recognitions," his fifth solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery.
