Hedonism Personified

In between Keeler's paintings, a cast of characters accompanied by their moral dilemmas rotate and cycle with vibrant raw emotion. These chimeras connect person and creature, in states accessible to both fauna and humans. Keeler's subjects explore their own selfish ambitions, and find themselves experiencing incorporeal and corporeal anxieties.

Mayce Keeler's images dance and cower hunger to interact, toe the precipice of violence and lust. They are impulsive and honest, stripped to the bone of human and animal hedonism,m where they run from pain and chase the bounty of pleasure. Galivanting to the foreground of their enclosed paintings as if they are standing center stage, wailing, fearful of divine retribution and high intensities. Mayce's art exists within a temestuous folklore that posiitions their own bare vulnerability against a vast historic mythos. It is primeval renaissance in response to socio-cultural norms.
