Profiles (1983) Richard Killeen
Richard Killeen discusses his work from realism in early painting through to working with abstract shapes. By the late 1970s, he had abandoned canvas and frame altogether — cutting shapes out of aluminium and grouping them in works somewhere between painting and sculpture. Killeen talks about the evolution of his work, his process and inspirations, and the importance of his environment in suburban Epsom.
