Alison Keogh

I collaborate with uncertainty and work with both stillness and immediacy. Intuition, awareness, my breath, body and repetitive gestures are constant processes I use to reveal my experiences that have settled and compressed with time.

Alison Keogh is an artist known for her minimal monochromatic works which include sculpture, performance, installations, and works on paper. She earned her architectural degree and completed a masters program at Kingston University, London. Formerly an architect, her artistic practice embraces repetitive and contemplative processes that collaborate with natural materials. While adhering to an underlying structural premise of modernist forms, her work emanates an organic sensibility. Alison has lived in several countries and currently resides in Santa Fe, NM. While living in Belgium she studied with and assisted the renowned land artist Bob Verschueren. She has traveled extensively, particularly in Japan where she connects with the artisans and places where many of the materials that she uses are produced. Keogh’s work has been exhibited both internationally and nationally in solo and group exhibitions. She has work in museums’ permanent collections, along with public, private and corporate collections. In 2012 she exhibited at the Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe, and attended an artist residency at Fundacion Valpariso, Spain. She was represented by William Siegal Gallery, Santa Fe for several years. She exhibited at Gallery Moris, Kobe, Japan in 2018. In 2019 Keogh was a nominee for the “Paper Routes 2020” NM Chapter of the National Museum of Women in the Arts. In 2021 Alison’s work featured in the exhibition “Breath Taking” at the NM Museum of Art in Santa Fe.
