Bob Keating & Rita Valley: Material Voices
View through Artsy
Bob Keating & Rita Valley approach art from entirely different material worlds, yet both challenge our perceptions of beauty, form, & narrative. Keating's work is grounded, in elemental materials like stone and quartz, while Valley’s work is unapologetically bold and textural, using satin and pleather. Together, their contrasting practices remind us that whether through raw material or stitched protest, art remains a powerful vessel for reflection, resistance, and meaning.
