Kieran’s experimental use of paint with all its curious touches and surprising textures, conveys a meditative quietness which characterises his work, and links with his imaginative, abstracted responses to landscape to shape a powerful sense of place.
The paintings are expressive, but modest, and not so expressionistic as to disturb the meditative quietness that inhabits all his works. Although abstract, the theme of the object is always present and visible despite its dissolving clarity.
