Artwork Information

The arrangements of Richard Killeen’s cut-outs are never static. The collections of images come from the artist with the instruction: ‘Hang in any order.’ This freedom from compositional hierarchy draws attention to the way we read and create a visual language. In Monkey’s Revenge, Charles Darwin

and an ammonite fossil rub shoulders with an armoured helmet and a high-rise building. History is here, as is technology and evolution. Killeen operates like a filter, sifting through a bewildering diversity of images – quoting, rearranging and

offering up history for evaluation.
