Keight MacLean

"Inspired by history, I bring forgotten faces into the contemporary art sphere with experimental techniques and modern media. My work focuses on historical portraits of women forgotten by history, and often addresses modern women’s issues through a historical lens." Keight MacLean is a Toronto based artist, born and raised in small town Ontario. Recent OCAD University graduate, and an alumna of the University’s prestigious Florence Program, in Florence, Italy.

"Agony", acrylic, gold leaf and paint marker on wood panel. 6x6". Sold... A sad face for today, but honestly, a videogame that I've been waiting for for over a year came out yesterday, so I'm busy cleaning up my deserted island, fishing and catching bugs! Couldn't be happier :) ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39cS4TE

Hey guys, I know galleries are mostly closing their doors right now, but there are plenty of ways to support artists from afar! Try sharing your favourite painting on instagram with a tag for the artist (if you don't know how, I can teach you an easy way!). Or, you could grab yourself some prints from @society6 (I've got lots on there, just search my name or reach out if there's a painting you'd like a print of but don't see on there). I'm also working on updating my website with all my available paintings and their prices, so reach out to me on here or via email if you'd like to help support a self employed artist in this uncertain time (and get yourself something nice in the process). — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/3b4YGoA

I'm canceling my plans and working from home for the next little bit. Let me know if you'd like to see a catalogue and price list, including work I currently have with galleries. I ship internationally, no touching or handshaking required.⁠..Plus you get the nice feeling that you're supporting a self employed person who is kinda scared about where their money is coming from for the next little bit. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39X77SQ

I love work that continues on over the frame and transforms it into a piece of the work! This piece included a truly beautiful antique frame that showed it's age in parts, which kind of make it more fitting for the piece!⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #contemporarypainting #artnow #curators #canadianart #artbuyers #artcollector #artcollectors #beautifulbizarre #huffpostarts #queerartist ⁠ #torontoartist #torontopainter #torontoart #yyz ⁠ #portraitpainting #portraitart #portraitpainter ⁠ #historicalart #baroque #baroqueart #renaissance #antique #oldmasters ⁠ #interiordesign #homedesign #interiorstyling #interiorstyle #interiorinspiration #wallart #walldecor — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/39BlBYl

So thrilled to announce this wonderful three woman show opening this Thursday at @AkashaArt for Women's History Month!!!! I'm so excited to be a part of this show: I've never felt so seen as an artist and to be curated into a show with @Ailene.devries and #SonjaScharf is just so incredible. I've had such a wonderful history with Akasha gallery that started with several clients of mine taking my paintings in to be framed by them years ago, and I'm so excited to be showing in the gallery for the first time ever! Please come out for the opening reception Thursday March 5th 7-9pm and keep your ear to the ground for an Artist Talk later in the month! — view on Instagram https://ift.tt/2I9i87b
