Kristen Keegan (b. 1988, Canada) is an artist based in Bergen, Norway.  She explores the function of abstract images to encourage wide attention. Engaging materials in a conversational approach, her works are a close study of colour, perception, and gesture. These exploratory methods result in projects of varied formats, including paintings, textile composites and book editions. Keegan completed her Master’s in fine art at UiB’s Faculty of Art, Music and Design in 2019 and has since exhibited at venues throughout Scandinavia, including Entrée, Kunsthuset Kabuso, LNM, Konstepidemin, Årsutstillingen, Høstutstillingen and Hordaland Kunstsenter. She has participated in residencies such as Mustarinda in Finland and Messen in Øystese. Her work is held in public collections including the University of Bergen and KODE museum. Next year she is developing a new project in collaboration with Trykkeriet.
