Keith Pitts' body of work epitomizes a departure from illusionistic figurative art, as he redirects his creative energies from theatre and entertainment towards philosophy and observation. Rejecting representational illusions, his art focuses on the essence of what it is, devoid of figurative depictions. Drawing from the concept of Rhizomatic thinking, Keith fearlessly experiments with materials, transcending boundaries and blurring categorical labels, while employing paint as his primary medium. His explorations delve into intellectual musings, normative definitions, and perceptive observations of social systems. Influenced by Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Henri Bergson, Jean Baudrillard, and others, Keith's art becomes an extension of thought, actualizing virtual concepts through the language of visuality. In this realm, art becomes a conduit, transcending traditional communication and offering a dynamic experience that challenges conventions and explores the boundless possibilities of human expression.
