Greenspace

2024, mixed media; 50" X 50" X 2"

A mixed-media installation titled "GREENSPACE" by Keith Francis. The artwork consists of a large, uniform square of vibrant green artificial turf mounted flush against a neutral, light-colored wall. The turf has a dense, realistic texture that mimics a perfectly manicured lawn, creating a bold geometric shape of organic color made from synthetic material. The piece is installed in a gallery setting, illuminated from above to create soft shadows that emphasize its three-dimensional thickness. Below the work, a polished hardwood floor with a visible grain pattern provides a secondary natural texture, further highlighting the artist's interrogation of what is "natural" versus "man-made." The composition is minimalist and centered, forcing a direct confrontation with the artificiality of the medium.
