Three standing figures gazing to the left emphatically, two with outstretched hands, appear to be imploring an entity out of the viewer's vision for some sympathetic response to a quandary in which they find themselves. The emaciated, impoverished look of the three figures implies an undergoing of difficult times at the least, and possibly a need for generous assistance. Tying this situation to the feeling of loneliness experienced by sailors at sea, or prisoners left in long confinement, the three figures become symbols for extolling the intrinsic need for human contact experienced by those lost or abandoned. Though something as small and doable as a friendly letter from a loved one would make a huge, healing difference, more often than not, the loved one, though well-intentioned, would be too busy to comply, and must be reminded once, twice or three times how much of an impact this simple act of kindness might bring. 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
