Marie Keeling 
Born Manchester 1948. 
Moved to Cornwall 2000 
inspirations: 
The architectural or industrial element in the landscape is my main drive. I am moved by 
the sight of rusty corroded metal, peeling paint, verdigris forming on old copper pipes. 
Materials exposed to the elements, nature’s reclamation. A metaphysical viewpoint on the 
industrial landscape, scrap yards, boat yards, the sculptural shapes of discarded & 
dismantled machinery. A love of buildings, constructions, steel skeletons, brick, concrete, 
stonework. 
Three series of paintings that I am currently working on are inspired by a twin funnelled 
barge, an old blowtorch & an abandoned quarry. 
Medium: 
Usually on canvas, using mixed media multi-layering for textural relief and oil in the later 
stages. 
The work: 
Although I have many sources of inspiration, the end result is an abstract painting which 
should be seen as an object in its own right, a new article. There is no intentional hidden 
message in my work, but I hope to arouse curiosity, raise questions in the mind of the 
beholder to which there may be no right or wrong answers, inviting the viewers to observe 
& form their own interpretation of what they see. When I look at a work of art that I like, I 
do not want an explanation. I like pictures that I do not understand.
