"Traversing Metaphorical Seas": The Artwork of Keith Rancourt

"TRAVERSING METAPHORICAL SEAS":  The Artwork of Keith Rancourt is proudly presented by CaRo Art Studio and Gallery, Meriden, CT.
 
April 16 - May 1, 2011
Opening Reception: April 16th, 6pm-9pm
   
Keith Rancourt takes his inspiration from both the natural world as well as the built environment around him. Cast off industrial materials or found objects, worn down and in the process of decay, are repurposed as part of his art. His images of actual material are often transferred to digital images.
 
With much casual reference to expressionism, color field painting or conceptualism, there are often allusions of some form of landscape or seascape in his work.
 
"It is only after I’ve worked and reworked an image through many revisions and variations does its meaning ascend into the realm of my consciousness. It is much like developing a photograph in steps, using old darkroom techniques. It is only after much deliberation that I realize just what it is that I am working on. It is like some kind of great mystery that keeps leading me down a brambly, twisting path. What starts out as a discarded piece of concrete form, rusty steel or street debris can be reincarnated as art."  ~ Keith Rancourt
