More information
As a painter, sculptor, choreographer, and musician, Keegan McHargue is concerned with the tension between tragedy and comedy that lies behind the banality of everyday life. “Humor is a large part of my work,” he has said. “[…] The human condition can be tragic, but […] you have to occasionally laugh about it all.” McHargue’s semi-abstract mixed-media paintings and colorful assemblages blend identifiable figures with objects of the artist’s imagination; he is particularly inspired by music for his use of color and abstraction.
McHargue's work is in various public art collections including Museum of Modern Art (MoMA),Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (FAMSF), among others.
