Keith Abbott lives and works in Tauranga. His work is held in private collections in New Zealand and overseas. There is a meditative quality to Keith’s works influenced by Buddhist art and philosophy. Themes he explores include questions of time and place, of belonging and displacement, of masculinity and femininity.
Working with oil and gold leaf gives the work an ancient feeling within a contemporary setting. Apparent is Keith’s strong belief of empty space in art; giving the viewer's eyes time to rest and reflect.
