A densely psychological landscape of the mind permeates the narrative of this painting as we're taken inside the head of the woman/girl embodied by the work's main figure. Naked, and contemplating her sexuality in an attitude that's equal parts fascination and pleasure, the viewer and the other two figures are excluded from this sensual study of arousal. With her disregard for outside influence, we're left to decipher in vain the complex whir of relationships felt or imagined in the woman's psyche, with the exception of her deeply focused display of self-fascination. The smallish doll-like figure hovering off in the distance might be her younger, innocent self walking home from school, or a protective apparition silently imploring her to turn her gaze away from herself in order to focus on more timely pursuits. "It's alright," the self-absorbed woman seems to be saying to the nagging outside clamor, "you can all go away. Mama's got this." Influences, among others, include Max Beckmann, Edvard Munch, Bob Thompson, George McNeil, Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, Francesco Clemente, R.B. Kitaj and Willem de Kooning.

Don Keene's paintings are bold expressionistic renditions of a ‘Red Light’ district that lurks in the subconscious. Evading time, place and definition, these vignettes represent a freedom of will from judgment while the colors and lines that portray unabashed passions saturate the composition with frenzied force. - D. Domick Lombardi Don Keene is a product of Pasadena's Art Center College of Design and the graduate program in Studio Art at The College of New Rochelle. His concerns with the human figure are less illustrative than they are metaphoric. His abstract accumulations of paint and form investigate the relationships we have with our bodies. The investigative dialogue he orchestrates deals with how and why human experience is confounded by primordial passion and desire within a free society that confuses sensuality, sexually charged imagery, emotive content, feelings of personal tension and self-consciousness, and the role of eroticism and pornography. It is the incongruous nature of this content that, for Keene, is in need of exploration. The resultant paintings and drawings on canvas and paper are purportedly abstract yet feel sexual. - William C. Maxwell
