Matrix Series
Séries Matricielles
Keight is a world unto itself, with its four cardinal points perfectly summed up by four great “walls” of signs, immersive works of experimentation and exchange, calling up the totality of its prior quests. These “walls”, gigantic paintings made up of a host of references integrated into a single geometrical space, in fact constitute the artist’s true visual statement. They also symbolise a progression towards a state of awareness and acceptance of one’s own emptiness. Each “panel” stands alone as a totality that questions the essence of its own theme, but can also be read in a continuous, circular manner, freely associating each element to achieve heightened meaning. And of course, there is no real “logical progression” from panel to panel, because it is through the “rhizomatic” and holistic confrontation of these different approaches to our human and spiritual condition, much like the ease of moving fluidly from one approach to another and of interconnecting them, that a more apparent and less “constrained” truth emerges.
Keight c’est un monde en soi, avec ses quatre points cardinaux, parfaitement résumés par quatre grands «murs» de signes, œuvres immersives, d’expérimentation et d’échanges convoquant la totalité de ses recherches antérieures. Ces «murs», tableaux gigantesques faits d’une foule de références intégrées dans un même espace géométrisé constituent en réalité le véritable « statement» visuel de l’artiste. Ils symbolisent également une progression vers un état de conscience et d’acceptation de sa propre vacuité. Chaque «panneau» constitue en soi une totalité qui vient interroger l’essence de sa thématique, mais peut se lire d’une manière continue, circulaire, en associant à sa guise chaque élément pour parvenir à un sens enrichi. Et bien entendu, il n’y a pas réellement de «progression logique» entre les panneaux, car c’est par la confrontation «rhizomatique» et globale de ces différentes approches de notre condition humaine et spirituelle, comme dans la facilité à passer de manière fluide de l’une à l’autre et à les interconnecter, que se fait jour une vérité plus évidente et moins «contrainte».

Beyond appearances, beyond social reflexes, beyond the illusions of life, beyond our projections of ourselves, there lies a deep inner world connected to a much larger universe, which exceeds and transcends it, but also sustains and stimulates it. This mystical experience is summarised in a single visual image that is incredibly rich, yet still readily understandable. Structured pyramidally in an attempt at universalising time and space, it offers us a path with multiple entrances. The votive heads, the fabrics, the meditative experience, the mountain and sun, the body transfixed by the protons of a universal energy: this whole conceptual territory helps usher us towards introspection. As with most of the other “walls”, some “mantras” summarise and distil the entirety of Keight’s thought. And here we now find ourselves, invited: to consider ourselves, to drop our masks, to reunite with ourselves, to let life permeate us, to follow our inner colours.
Au-delà des apparences, au-delà des réflexes sociaux, au-delà des illusions de la vie, au-delà de notre projection de nous-même, existe un monde intérieur profond connecté à un univers beaucoup plus large, qui le dépasse, l’excède, mais aussi le nourrit et le stimule. Cette expérience mystique est résumée en un seul visuel incroyablement foisonnant et pourtant encore très lisible. Structuré de manière pyramidale dans une tentative d’universalisme du temps et de l’espace, il nous propose un chemin aux multiples entrées. Les têtes votives, les tissus, les expériences de méditation, la montagne et le soleil, le corps transpercé par les protons d’une énergie universelle, tout ce territoire conceptuel contribue à nous inciter à l’introspection. Comme dans la plupart des autres « murs », quelques « mantras » résument et condensent toute la pensée de Keight. Et nous voici invités à : nous regarder nous-même ; laisser tomber les masques ; être réuni à soi ; laisser la vie nous irriguer ; suivre les couleurs intérieures.

To free oneself from the illusion of living life according to social demands, it seems vital to confront our deepest fear: death, as an allegory for passage, for a necessary confrontation with oneself, for the acceptance of our limits. Vanity possessed of a pallid energy, gallows, viruses, spectral faces disappearing as soon as they appear—but also tombstones and Christlike sacrifice—all these elements give us pause for thought as to our finitude and the need to recognise it, rather than to flee from it. The structure of this “panel” is also arranged in stages, in the manner of a progression; or rather, a fall...
Pour se libérer de l’illusion de vivre à travers les injonctions sociales, il semble indispensable d’affronter nos peurs les plus profondes. La mort comme allégorie d’un passage, d’une nécessaire confrontation à soi-même, d’une acceptation de nos limites. Vanité chargée d’une énergie blafarde, pendaison, virus, visages fantomatiques disparaissant au moment d’apparaître, mais aussi pierres tombales et sacrifices Christique, tous ces éléments nous donnent à réfléchir sur notre finitude et la nécessité de la reconnaître plutôt que de la fuir. La structure du « panneau » est ici aussi étagée par paliers comme dans une progression ou alors plutôt une chute…
Digi†al Graveyard
Cime†ière Digital
In Digital Graveyard, a virtual and interactive work, the public is invited to reflect on its own death, but in a playful way. This is nonetheless the paradox, or even oxymoron (an oxymortality?), represented by the tension between the rich and colourful iconography, the piece’s “game” dimension, and the fact that each and every viewer must actually check in to a future in which his or her death has already come to pass! It is up to viewers to come to a decision, and to dare to tame the irreducible human condition, by choosing “their own” headstones out of a wide range of tombs, on which to have their initials engraved. Another important function of this digital piece, which takes the form of a dedicated website, is the idea of inserting oneself into a wider community, that of the “virtual cemetery”. Thus, Keight reminds us that, from time immemorial, there have been sacred and ritual qualities to the question of burial, qualities that are part of a collective dimension... but he renews the way that dimension is seen, through the individuation of each person via his or her own colours and choices, conscious and alive. See the Digital Graveyard and also on OpenSea.
Avec Digital Graveyardœuvre numérique et interactive Digital Graveyard, le public est invité à réfléchir à sa propre mort de manière ludique. Ce paradoxe, voire cet oxymore (ou oxymort ?) est pourtant représenté par la tension qui existe entre la riche iconographie colorée, la dimension "jeu" de cette pièce et le fait de devoir, pour tout un chacun, s'inscrire réellement dans un futur où sa mort est matérialisée ! A chacun de se décider et d'oser apprivoiser l'irréductible condition humaine mortelle, en choisissant, au milieu d'une large gamme de tombes, "sa" propre stèle sur laquelle il fait graver ses initiales. Autre fonctionnement important de cette œuvre numérique, qui se déploie sous la forme d'un site dédié, c'est l'idée de s'insérer dans une communauté plus large, celle du "cimetière virtuel". Keight nous rappelle ainsi que la question de l'inhumation a depuis tous temps possédé un caractère rituel et sacré qui s'inscrit dans une dimension collective... mais il en renouvelle la vision par l'individuation de chacun via sa couleur et son propre choix, conscient et vivant.

$ociety
$ociété
What drives us to stereotypical social behaviour? Why has “happiness” become synonymous with a full shopping cart? Factory chimneys belch out the ghosts of the “scream” that spreads its anguish across an ominous shared future, while the star inside man is a nuclear reactor, consuming him from within. And no person is ever anything more than the infinite repetition of the same gesture, dressed up in social attitudes. Crushed within a false freedom and an individuality that mirrors everyone else’s, the individual is locked inside an illusion of his or her own projection, follows a signposted route, and must rise through the ranks, at any cost.
Qu’est-ce qui nous pousse à avoir des comportements sociaux stéréotypés ? Pourquoi le « bonheur » est-il devenu synonyme d’un « caddie » bien rempli ? Les cheminées d’usine crachent les fantômes du « cri » qui étend son angoisse sur un avenir commun bien inquiétant, tandis que l’étoile à l’intérieur de l’homme est une énergie nucléaire qui le ronge de l’intérieur. Et chaque personne n’est jamais que l’infinie répétition d’un même geste rhabillé par la posture sociale. Ecrasé dans sa fausse liberté et dans son individualité en miroir des autres, l’être est enfermé dans l’illusion de sa propre projection, suit un parcours fléché et doit à tout prix « monter les marches ».

The light illuminates the bodies that are the veritable spinal columns of the world, while the growing hair serves as an allegory for enduring nature. A strand of DNA expresses the identity of each living being, but also the possibility of merging with a tree, as a primordial choice: that of integration with the tree of life. This panel is also an allegory for mental and social openness, the suggestion of a different relationship with other forms of life and cultures. The whole is structured as a cross, which of course is evocative of life that can be saved through sacrifice. Sexuality, landscape, the cosmos, contemplation, and introspection are so many vitalist exhortations that allow us to continue to hope.
La lumière illumine les corps qui sont les véritables colonnes vertébrales du monde tandis que les cheveux poussent, allégorie de la nature vivace. Un morceau d’ADN exprime l’identité de chaque être vivant mais aussi la possibilité de fusionner avec un arbre, comme un choix primordial, celui d’une intégration à l’arbre de la vie. Ce panneau est aussi une allégorie de l’ouverture mentale et sociale, la proposition d’un rapport différent vis-à-vis d’autres formes de vies et de cultures. Le tout est structuré à travers une croix qui évoque bien entendu la vie qui peut être sauvée sous forme de sacrifice. La sexualité, le paysage, le cosmos, la contemplation et l’introspection, sont autant d’injonctions vitalistes qui nous permettent de continuer à espérer.
Consciousness in Sleepmode
Conscience en mode veille
Allegory of the human sleeping consciousness. Waiting for awareness. This big wall shows the state of art of our human consciousness that is locked by closed trapdoor contained by black lines that evokes the form of a coffin, symbol of our dying state of body & mind.
Allégorie de la conscience humaine endormie. En attente de prise de conscience. Ce grand mur montre l'état de l'art de notre conscience humaine qui est verrouillée par une trappe fermée contenue par des lignes noires qui évoque la forme d'un cercueil, symbole de notre état de mort du corps et de l'esprit.
Meditation Walls
Murs de méditation
The meaning of this piece is twofold and contradictory. The Meditation Walls series is set in a context related to airport areas, hectic areas subject to inflows in every which way, and where agitation is omnipresent, juxtaposed with the symbolism of departure, which is the renewal of the Being through the unloading of excess luggage, taking with one’s Self only the essential.
L’œuvre possède un double sens antagonique. La série Meditation Walls s’inscrit dans un contexte lié à la zone de l'aéroport, zone mouvementée où les afflux vont et viennent dans tous les sens et où l’agitation est omniprésente. La symbolique du départ qui est le renouveau de l’Être en se délestant des bagages trop lourds et en emportant avec Soi l’essentiel.
