The Artist Ian McKeever is a member of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and began painting in 1969. His early works emerged from a conceptual interest in landscape, painting, and photography, reflecting his travels in Greenland, Papua New Guinea, and Siberia. By the mid-1980s, his work became increasingly abstract, revealing his interest in the nature of light, the human body, and architectural structures. McKeever and Trieste This is not the first time McKeever has had a professional relationship with the city. He held a solo exhibition at Galleria Tommaseo in 1977 and, exactly forty years later, mounted another exhibition for Trieste Contemporanea, Letters, 2015–2017. He also participated in Trieste Contemporanea’s international exhibition projects Wavefront (2016, exhibition at Palazzo Costanzi in Trieste) and In Search of Identity in the Age of the Selfie (exhibitions at Studio Tommaseo in Trieste in 2019 and at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in 2021).
