Ash Keating has made an international name for himself with
spectacular paintings of entire buildings and huge walls. Like few
others, he has perfected the use of fire extinguishers as a tool
for his abstract works in public spaces, leaving room for chance
and improvisation. Inspired by the light and colors of his native
Australia, the energetic color of his painting with their fluid,
vertical gradients reveals an almost transcendent longing. In a
public, performative action in August 2023, he transforms the
former caretaker’s house in the park surrounding the Museum
Langmatt into a huge, three-dimensional artwork. He will complement
his presentation with new paintings scattered throughout the park,
placing them in dialogue with the French Impressionists from the
museum’s collection in its historic interiors. This publication
provides an exemplary insight into the artist’s multifaceted
oeuvre and documents his exhibition at the Museum Langmatt.
Eric Hattan is known for his canny interventions in public places
and causing surprise by thwarting the familiar order. This is also
the case at the Museum Langmatt, which invited the Swiss artist to
playfully intervene on its premises. The historic villa with its
mahogany parquet flooring, fine carpets, chandeliers, and manicured
garden provides a contrasting foil for Hattan's installations,
composed of worn clothing, metal parts, and other less exquisite
materials. Five o'clock Shadow documents the ensuing dialogue that
spans from the rich contrast between the present and the Belle
Epoque, and shows how the venerable building is being tangibly
enlivened.
