Keith Lane

About

Keith Lane is a Northern Tasmanian painter whose works are poetical and mysterious, defying easy interpretation. His painting and sculpture open doors to the viewer’s memory and experience inviting an individual response as unique as the artists. In these complex works time and distance is collapsed and we see JM Turner’s world referenced to the ethical dilemmas of today’s Everyman. Originally from London, Lane creates with a deep knowledge of this great metropolis . His latest works draw connections between Thames convict hulks and Tasmanian transported felons.
